Hi, My Name is Vivian Marie Wholey!

My theater experience dates all the way back to middle school. There, I played the evil stepsister in a show called “The Big Bad Musical,” a story about the fairytale creatures going to trial against the big bad wolf. I also played “Cheshire Cat” in Alice in Wonderland. In high school, I played major roles including “Brigitta” in The Sound of Music, “Marianne” in Tartuffe, “Jennie Mae” in The Diviners, and “Prentiss” in Peter and the Starcatcher. I also participated in many shows as part of the ensemble and as a featured dancer, like The Drowsy Chaperone, Sweeney Todd, and Annie. At Endicott College, I played “Blanche the Ladies Maid” and “Gwendolen’s Understudy” in The Importance of Being Earnest, “Sandrine” in Almost, Maine, “Destiny” from the ensemble of Polaroid Stories, “Speedy” and “Tricia” from Endicott’s student written show, Work in Progress, where I also had a hand in writing the song “Someone,” and sang it for the performance as well. Additionally, I played “Poppy Norton-Taylor'' in Noises Off!, “Francesca” in Hard Candy, “Understudy Columbia” and a “Phantom” in The Rocky Horror Show, “Vera/The Beholder” in She Kills Monsters, and a featured dancer in Head Over Heels. I have also had the chance to do more than just act, for I co-directed Jukebox Hero, a cabaret show filled with Jukebox musical songs, and The Dining Room by A.R. Gurney. In fulfilling my Theater minor, I have been able to take private acting lessons where I had the chance to explore six monologues throughout the semester, and take classes such as Playwriting & Screenwriting, Theater Production, Acting Techniques I & II, and Audition & Portfolio. Overall, I love acting and performing and try to do it in any capacity I can. My parents always used to say when I was little “we gotta get this girl on a stage,” and they were right, and I’m so glad they were.
