Christine Carmela (she/her) is thrilled to be making her Moxie Theatre debut by returning to the role of Lolita in Notes on Killing Seven Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Board Members, a role she originated at Soho Repertory Theatre in New York. She acquired her BFA in Acting from TCU in Fort Worth, TX and her MFA in Writing for Screen from USC in Los Angeles, where she is now based. Along with Soho Rep, her stage credits include performances at Uptown Players, Circle Theatre, Amphibian Stage, and more. She’d like to dedicate her performance to her father and her abuela, for making her the proud Boricua she is today (and for not making fun of her accent [too much]).
