Lisa Waggner as Amahl

When she was 7 yrs old, Lisa broke her leg in a skiing accident and had to live in crutches for weeks. She brings this “crippling experience” to her role as Amahl together with her passion for music and acting. Her past musical theater performances include the lead in Peter Pan and Liesl in The Sound of Music. She also appeared as the bad mannered Leroy Herdman in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever at the Knightsbridge Theatre and performed in various scene studies in her acting classes as a Sophomore at Notre Dame High School. Lisa is concurrently playing the role of Gladys Herdman in another Knightsbridge Theatre production.This is her first opera and is grateful for the opportunity to use her "high voice". Lisa also sings with the St. Mel Lifeteen Band.
