This is Janet's fifth time on stage at Theatre in the Heights. She is excited to be performing as Mrs. Gottlieb in Dead Man's Cell Phone. She would like to thank Anthony DePage for casting her in this wonderful role. She also thanks the terrific cast for all their hard work. They have been SO MUCH fun to work with!

Her previous performances at Theatre in the Heights include Philostrate and Cobweb in Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream, Mrs. Peacock in Clue: On Stage, Martha Gillette in The Game's Afoot (or Holmes for the Holidays), and in 2019 she received the theater's Best Actress award for her role as Fonsia Dorsey in The Gin Game. She began acting when living on the Mendocino Coast from 1974 to 1984 where she had roles in Beggars' Opera, Bye Bye Birdie, The Mad Woman of Chaillot and as a bumbling clown ringmaster in a local production of a clown circus. In 1984, she moved to Santa Rosa where she had roles in Animal Crackers, The Music Man and A Christmas Carol.

Since moving to the Sacramento area in 2003, she has also performed at The Crocker Museum for Performing Arts in The Flood, (one of The Vagina Monologs) and in a Sutter Street Theatre production of You Can't Take It with You, as The Grand Duchess Olga Katrina.

She is most grateful to her wonderful husband, Gary Kiddie, who helped her memorize her lines, and waited up for her when she came home from long evening rehearsals.

Thank you for coming, and I hope you enjoy the show!
