  • Merry Wives of Windsor

    Veronica rehearsed the past two weeks for the roll of Sir John Falstaff in William Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor. This is her second class with the Taproot Theater. The staff specifically asked her to play Falstaff. Not her first choice, she jumped in with both feet and embraced the large greasy womanizer character. This production set the town of Windsor in Las Vegas...

    Here is her opening scene:
