Constance Christie (Caramel Souprano) is thrilled to reprise her role from last year! She began her acting career after earning her undergraduate degree from SUNY Stony Brook by taking acting classes at night and on weekends while working as a legal secretary during the day. She was just seen in Nov 2023 in “All We Really Know is That We Exist,” on Off Broadway! She spent nearly her entire weekly salary on classes and on books at the Drama Book Shop while also reading everything free she could find about working in the business. Almost all her free time was dedicated to reading plays and learning as much as possible. Constance booked several student films, several of which won awards at film festivals. Constance also participated in the NYC Fringe Festival and several other Off-Broadway productions. In 2009 Constance left NY to go to law school in Michigan. While Constance always believed her foundation helped her with her classes in litigation, Moot Court, Mock Trial and Trial Skills classes, performing still pulled at mind and heart. Several years after passing the NYS Bar Exam, Constance decided to stop silencing her love of the arts and performing. She began training and auditioning again. Recently she’s been seen locally in “My Big Fat Geek Wedding,” and “Greased Lightning!”
