MEET the cast – amy dellagiarino
It's here…
We're in full swing with rehearsals for Orange Orbs, the first show of our 5th Season, set to open November 25th at The Oracle Theatre. Set in a Florida cornfield on Halloween Night, Orange Orbs follows two teenagers who find a baby abandoned in a pumpkin. As they try to return the child to its rightful guardian, they encounter two spectral figures and become entangled in a feud that's older and bloodier than the fields themselves. Meet Amy Dellagiarino, playing one of the spectral beings that inhabit this part southern gothic world.
Who are you and what are you doing here?
I'm the youngest child in my family and because of that I'm probably here to prove myself in some way. But seriously, every time I approach a new role the goal is always to be able to create a living human being who can reach an audience member in some way. Also, I'm probably here to remind everyone to floss everyday. Seriously. I just went to the dentist. That stuff is important.
Who is your inner local legend (real or fictional) and what makes you so darn legendary?
I feel like the inner me is the perfect blend of Christopher Walken and Madeline Kahn. I don't think I need to state WHY that's legendary.
What gets you jazzed about this play, people and being here?
It's always exciting when you can get to perform in NEW work that is GOOD. The thing that really gets me about this play is the level of depth with all the characters. It's really great as an actor when a playwright writes a character you can really sink your teeth into — there is nothing more exciting! Plus I love how strange humanity can be, and I love theatre that isn't afraid to explore that.
