Lori Whittle (Edith Frank)
Lori is new to the stage even though she grew up watching performances from the Alvin Ailey Dance Company, SF Ballet, and musicals on Broadway. Lori, herself participated in children’s dance recitals and high school and community productions. When she landed a part in IT’s The Wizard of Oz, she had so much fun she returned as stage manager for Beauty and the Beast. Last April, she dabbled in film work as script supervisor for Dracula. Those who know her find it surprising that she is acting in a dramatic production since she is typically the comic relief. She feels indebted to Peter Wolfe and Lanny Langston for letting her participate in many of their projects. She is also thankful for her husband’s patience and children’s support. “As a mother and laid-off teacher, participating in this production is my way of being part of something important.” I hope to honor those who perished in the holocaust by remembering them.”
