Saturday Spotlight: Tonya Beckman

Name: Tonya Beckman

Role: Lisette

Hometown: outside Chicago IL

Previous shows at Olney: The Millionairess, Rancho Mirage

First time on stage: Chicken Little, 2nd grade

Favorite theatre memory: The silence after a play ends, before the applause begins, when no one wants to just yet let go of the world we all shared.

Fanciest place you've ever been: Buckingham Palace

Favorite type of cheese: I'm a gouda girl

Time you broke the rules: I confess I'm much more a Trivelin than a Harlequin.

A totally hilarious knock-knock joke: Knock Knock. Who's there? Nana. Nana who? Nana your business.

Say something in French: My favorite French phrase is "coup de foudre," -- love at first sight. But the literal  meaning is ''struck by lightning.'  (it's also the name of a fancy French lingerie shop in DC)
