Amy Michelle & Zaven Ovian of “Emilie: La Marquise du Châtelet Defends Her Life Tonight”

Duende Productions presents Emilie written by Lauren Gunderson directed by Kathy Gail MacGowan Listen in as Emilie: La Marquise du Châtelet Defends Her Life Tonight actor/producer Amy Michelle, along with fellow cast member Zaven Ovian, discuss physics, inviting the audience in, those plays that follow you around until you put them up, staging opportunities, deep research, love for stage managers, differentiating your multiple character assignments, and exploring “purpose & passion.”

What is our meaning? What does our existence mean?’…I think a lot of people are asking that question since the pandemic…”
