Today’s throwback is dedicated to one of our WWOB theatre members, Jessica Womack, who recently passed away. We had the honor of working with Jessica when she first auditioned for Cinderella and was cast as the Fairy Godmother. You may have also seen her as Jack’s Mom in Into The Woods last fall or as the Tsarina in Anastasia. Jessica always brought a smile and had a love for theatre and singing which showed every time she performed. She will be deeply missed, but her spirit will always live on through the memory of theatre and performing. 🎶🎭❤️
Happy Thanksgiving! 🎭🎶🍂![]()
