I was nominated for Best Actress as Lizzy Bennet in Pride & Prejudice at the Dorset Theatre Festival by the Broadway World Vermont Awards. Here's where you come in. You should vote for me and for my fellow castmates cause we're PROUD and we're PREJUDICED (I've been using that dumb joke all day). Vote for Carman Lacivita or Dave Quay in the Best Actor category, and for the production in the Best Play category. Click here for the link.
