Evangeline most recently performed Mag Folan in THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF
LEENANE at the Cider Mill Playhouse, Endicott, NY. The first job Evangeline Johns landed in New York was as a famed
Copacabana chorus girl. Then summer stock, off-Bdwy, and finally, time
out to raise a family. When Vangie came back on the scene, it was in the
off-off venues, doing experimental theatre and writing. Her plays,
performance pieces and poetry were seen in many popular venues, including
BACA Downtown and Papps Public Theatre, as part of Mac Wellman's New
Works Group. She originated roles in works by Jessica Hagedorn,
Susan-Lori Parks, Liz Olesker, John Russell and othes, toured the states
in Laurie Carlos obie winning WHITE CHOCOLATE, and travelled to St.
Petersburg, Russia as guest artist with Paula-Josa Jones ANTIGONE'S
DREAM. Recent appearances include: Thelma Cates in 'NIGHT, MOTHER at The
Big Little Theatre, Sister in the one-woman, interactive show, LATE NITE
CATECHISM, and as Horatio Sanz mother in THE HO-HO HORATIO SANZ XMAS SHOW
in off-Bdway venues. She recently worked in an industrial for General
Mills where she can soon be seen on-line at The Good Food Fight.com.
Also, roles in the indie feature-length THE BEST MAN and in THE SAVAGES
with Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Martha Grifffin, RN.
Vangie is excited to be a part of this dynamic theatre group headed by
Michael Horn, having been a long-time member of Ann Bowen's Theatre Gym. |
