Rachel Richardson
as Ree-Ree Rachel is honored to be involved in the premier of this play. She is no stranger to the Barefoot stage, though this is her first time performing in a piece that has never been seen before. Maureen really captured the different highs and lows experienced by a group of friends who have been together for so long and she illustrated the battle that the main character faces in such a profound way. It truly is an amazing piece and there's something to which everyone can relate. Rachel would like to thank the cast and crew as well as her friends and family for their continued support.
