The Witch is played by Jess Cullinan, who has been involved in theatre since the age of five, when she was one of a mob of children in the chorus of Oklahoma! while her father played "Curly." Since then it's been one show after another, as well as a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Marquette University in Milwaukee. She has sung with the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus, the Chicago Chorale, the Rockefeller Chapel Choir (soloist), and lots of church choirs. In Los Alamos, Jess started out as the "Mother Abbess" in LALO's The Sound of Music, then played the ex-con "Percy" in LALT's The Spitfire Grill, and then was a giant lizard, "Sarah," in LALT's Seascape. She isn't sure how the Witch fits into her character evolution - but is loving every minute of it! She is especially enjoying getting to perform her dream role in her favorite musical alongside her wonderful husband. Zapping him repeatedly with a magic staff is just an added bonus.
