Liz Liuzzi has had the great pleasure of performing on a number of Cape stages and considers herself a bit of a theater gypsy.  She is always happy to make her way back to Cape Rep, her first ‘Cape Cod’ theater home.  Stepping back on stage at ‘the theater in the woods’, to participate in the November Project was an experience that was both thrilling and emotional. A clear reminder that we, actors, are so very blessed to be able to do something we love.   The opportunity to revisit one of her favorite characters ‘Jean’ from Good People and to share the stage again with her Good People and FootLight Fantasies cohort Melissa was great fun.  Thank you Cape Rep for inviting me.
