Penny Ray - Co-producer

And she often finds herself doing just that, whether it be in the middle of the desert in Arizona on an independent film set trying to keep everyone happy in 100+ degree heat while also starring in the darn thing, or co-managing THIS production so that our producer can shine with the rest of our stellar cast and crew, and audiences in Vancouver can enjoy a spectacular show.
