Independent Theatre Company - Springfield, VA

Whose crown is it, anyway? Get to know the faces behind the titles of the plays we'll be presenting in our closing performance of THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY: Shakespeare's Kings and Queens tonight! Will you join us this evening?

Meet the Cast of THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY: Shakespeare's Kings and Queens! Today's featured player is Connie Ramsey!

Character: Falstaff is a very fun and complex character who attaches himself to Prince Hal. He is so many things - fun and funny, lewd, rude, pompous, a thief, cunning, witty, someone who is always looking for quick ways to get ahead, but he is also caring, intelligent, naive, and frightened.

Past Productions:
Judith Bliss in Hay Fever (Globe Openstage)
Nurse in Romeo and Juliet (B&H)
King Duncan in Macbeth (Globe)
Don Pedro in Much Ado About Nothing (B&H)

About Connie:
I act, paint, draw, read, and take photos. I love to spend time with my grandchildren and to visit new places.

Favorite quote or scene:
Poor Richard II deciding whether or not to give up his crown. "Ay, no, no, ay."

Fond memories:
So many, including fun summer BBQs, birthday parties, and a cozy zoom Christmas party during Covid.

Favorite fictional or fictionalized royal:
Queen Margaret in Shakespeare's plays - deliciously derisive and vengeful
and
Whoopi Goldberg as the Queen in Cinderella - she is delightful

Shout-out to Megan and Wendy for directing and producing this and other great summer productions. Also a shout-out to my fellow actors, who are incredibly talented and wonderful to work with.

About Matthew: I'm a software engineer who somehow finds my way onto a stage.
