Sue majored in theater at the University of Arizona and at 19, traveled from Tucson to Garrison, Iowa to work for The Old Creamery Theatre, a summer stock theater company in the middle of farm country.

That first summer, I was cast to play Martha in Arsenic and Old Lace. A role 70+ years past mine at the time. As a young character actor, it didn’t seem like that big of a stretch. You gotta start somewhere. To date, it’s one of the most enjoyable roles I’ve played and one I look forward to playing again when I get a little closer to, you know, that actual age.

Between summers in Iowa, Sue spent time in Chicago studying at Second City and waiting tables, (natch.) In 1982, she ventured north to the Twin Cities and soon became a company member with Dudley Riggs’ Brave New Workshop. Sue continued to perform with local theater companies and in 1994 took on one of her most challenging roles, the one woman play: The Search for Signs of Live in the Universe.

Sue’s theater work took a two decade break while she reveled in doing “funny voices on the radio” with A Prairie Home Companion. Getting back on stage in 2016 was exhilarating!

Creating and producing her own show & podcast in 2019 has been both a huge learning opportunity AND incredibly fulfilling!

No theater to announce, at the moment…

BUT lots of stage time as the Creator, Producer & Host of the live show & podcast, Island of Discarded Women!
