Colleen McLinden is a native of Lakewood, Ohio, and she is thrilled to be coming home to work with Great Lakes.
She spent a week in the Romeo and Juliet residency as a high school freshman in 2008, and it's been a dream of hers to join the actor-teacher team ever since! She has experience as a high school theology teacher in Boston and South Bend, Indiana, and has loved being in shows in and around South Bend.
Her favorites include The Crucible (Elizabeth Proctor) and Sense & Sensibility (Lucy Steele) at the South Bend Civic Theater, The Passion (Peter) at the University of Notre Dame, and the world premiere of Hamlet 50/50 (Mariah/Player Two) with the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival.
She loves the creativity and collaboration of theater, and is grateful to be able to share great artistic works with the youth of Cleveland!
