The Blueprint will be featuring members of the cast, today we focus on Gianna Juart who plays Fiona.
Mrs. Burns said GiGi was the “perfect person” to fill the role of Fiona.
“She’s sweet and kind with a little spunk,” Mrs. Burns said. “I have seen GiGi grow from a somewhat shy actor on stage to one who is so confident and commanding! I know audiences will fall in love with her. I’m beyond proud of her commitment, dedication, and growth over the past few years.”
