Hi my name is Frankie Ferguson. I’m so grateful to be apart of such an amazing production! My previous role was playing Emma in Terms of Endearment at the Levoy Theatre. This is the second show i’ve done and i’m looking forward to doing many more. I love all things theater, and film. Being able to express myself with acting has been the most fulfilling thing in my life, it brings me a lot of joy and happiness!
