PAST PRODUCTIONS:
Maples Repertory Theatre
Lucky Stiff & The Sound of Music
June 14 - August 4, 2024
Anna is thrilled to make her equity theatre debut at Maples Rep this summer. She is playing a Dream Role, Rita La Porta, in 'Lucky Stiff' and Sister Berthe in 'The Sound of Music'. She will also participate in 2 TYA shows (Rumplestiltskin Revisited and Superheros Unite!) and the Maples Summer Cabaret. See you in Macon, Missouri!
"Anna Dudley is a riot as Rita La Porta, the mistress of the late Uncle Anthony. Dudley’s Rita always seems a step away from a straitjacket as she clearly doesn’t live in the greater construct known as reality. Dudley leans into Rita’s nuttiness and her histrionic and soap operatic poses seem perfectly natural to the flighty menace. Dudley is also a powerful belter as she croons out a confession to murder in “Rita’s Confession” and trying to soft soap Uncle Anthony in “Fancy Meeting You Here”."
