    as Beggar Woman

    Rissa Williams (They/Them) is beyond excited to share their last big stage performance with their friends, teachers, and especially their family. Although it's their last, they have enjoyed performing in other big stage shows like The Prom (DeeDee Allen), Into the Woods (The Witch), Shrek Jr. (Donkey), and Children of Eden (Father). After school, they have decided to continue their passions both on and off the stage with the guidance of their wonderful teachers over the past 4 years. Rissa wants to shout out to their Mom for always supporting them as an artist, human, and child! As well as their theater moms and dads over the years; Ms. Williams, Mrs. Lybarger, Mr. Fedele, Ms. Hall, Mr. Cavanaugh and Mr. Fuller. 'Alms Alms, for a very thankful senior...'
