Maddy joins the Seance on a Wet Afternoon Cast!

2009-06-02T08:49:00.000-07:00

The other night Ann got word from Michael Jackowitz the Producer for Seance on a Wet Afternoon, that they have offered the role of Understudy of Adriana to Maddy! We are so proud of all the hard work and long hours she has put into to work on her music and singing. We are so excited for her to be part of this important world premier opera written by Stephen Schwartz and directed by his son Scott. It should be a very interesting Fall for Maddy. Additionally, Madeline will also be attending 2 weeks of the Electric Youth singing and acting camp put on by former popstar Debbie Gibson. She also heard that she made the Outburst singing group at La Colina Junior Highschool. All in all, it was a good couple of weeks for Maddy! Congrats Mad, we are so proud of you!

I am Maddy Marquis and I am a young singer. Music is my passion! I don't know how I could or would live without it! I have been involved in many operas and musicals. I have been singing since I was 2 and I've been acting since I was 9. I love being involved in fun groups with my friends. I also love skiing, reading, volleyball, and writing. I am in a family of six and I am the oldest child of four. I was recently in Stephen Schwartz's opera's workshop, A Seance On a Wet Afternoon and I am going to New York to do another workshop with the opera on Nov. 12th. I am very excited and I will post my experience when I get back.
