Marijo had never done any real theater before AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS...unless you count high school musicals at Louisville. She loves to cantor at St. Mel because of the communal singing and praise that we do. She loves to sing in the choir, especially the challenging pieces that bring out the best in her. But the role of Mother in Amahl? It's up there with the majors. She had to memorize so much music and learn how to act the role. Even with five children of her own, she can't say that she is more prepared for the role. "My own children are so beautifully behaved, quiet and shy - nothing like Amahl!" She thanks Francesco and Linda Badran for all of the help and prep work they have done and are still doing with her.
