BROOKE MERCER

		BROOKE first appeared on stage as the “mayor’s wife” in Bye Bye Birdie, the summer of 2002.  She has done numerous shows since and is thrilled with all. Her favorite role, thus far, was that of “Diva,” in Starmites! She has an intense love for Japanese and theatre – so who knows, someday she might appear on stage in Japan! Brooke is currently attending college in Northern California.
