Abigail Brooks*
Assistant Director
Abigail Brooks, a junior, has been a member of Theatre on the James since her freshman year. This is Abigail’s first experience with assistant directing, and it’s something she’s looked forward to since the start of her theatre career. When she found out this year's musical was Chicago, she was even more eager. Abigail has previously acted with Troupe #5953 and has had some experience on crew as well. You may recognize her from past productions, and earlier this year, you may have seen her in The Play That Goes Wrong as Chris. She loved working with everybody in the cast and crew this year and hopes to continue on the same path next year.

He wants to send special thanks to the rest of the production team, his friends, and to all the local stray cats.
