Norman and I have been dying to get this talented actress in our seat for a while now and we finally have her! Acquenetta Summers-Wong is now in the Masquers’ play Compared to What – I had the pleasure of working with her when we did Before The Dream (directed by Norman) back in 2008. Acquenetta talks about her theatre experience, balancing theatre with being a mother and where she sees herself in the future.
