    Jenn Rian

    as Melody "Cousin Melody" Brewster

    This is Jenn's 4th R-ACT production. Recently, she was the feisty jewel thief, Goldi Lox, in Fractured Fairytales. 2016 R-ACT roles included the fiery captive, Lorinda Hamilton, in Death and Doubloons, and the brave and spunky Elaine Harper in Arsenic and Old Lace. Typically cast as the spirited leading lady, Jenn is excited to bring the naive and sugar-sweet Melody to life, “Melody is the kind of character where you can't decide if you want to hit her or hug her. You kinda want to do both. She's irritatingly lovable.” Jenn will be in the Little Beaver Historical Society's fundraiser production of Soldier Come Home at Lincoln Park in May and Foolish Fish Girls with the Bobcat Players in July. Jenn is a mother of two, a PSYCH major at CCBC, Chair Yoga Instructor for senior citizens. You can find Jenn online blogging and vlogging about humor and mental health advocacy.
