Merrie Drees is excited to be in her first opera! Most recently she was seen as Jovie in the the Beck Center’s production of Elf. She is a Kent state musical theatre graduate and since then was on Nickelodeon’s national tour of “Paw Patrol Live” as Skye. Credits include Children of Eden (Eve), Little Women (Amy), Drowsy Chaperone (Kitty), It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s…Superman (Lois Lane), Allegro (Jenny), and many others. Many thanks to her friends, family, and Zac for their love and support.
