Abigail Welsch
Artistic Director
2013-2014 Season
Preceded by Gina Dunn
Abbie grew up in Plainfield, Illinois (the name speaks for itself), where she became involved in theater at an early age. In high school she played volleyball, was a member of the art club, and was heavily involved in her school's theater program. After long consideration, Abbie decided to attend the University of Illinois where she now studies Advertising. With some convincing, Abbie decided to join board and is now happy to be a part of the Penny Dreadful Players and is excited for her involvement with them over her next three years. She is also involved in AAF and is a member of a sorority on campus. Abbie enjoys acting, malted milk balls, the color green, snuggling on rainy days, and eating asparagus.
