In this ongoing series, we briefly introduce you to the actors performing in our plays in a fun way. Episode 86: Meet Amelia Marie Corrada, a sophomore at Denver School of the Arts who is making her DCPA Theatre Company debut as bad girl Genevieve Larson, a bored Goth-like teen from fictional Holt who takes a passing liking to the preacher’s kid, in Benediction.

Amelia talks about her affinities for, among other things, ice cream, Shakespeare and playwright Matthew Lopez. Denver in fact, “may have the best ice cream in the world,” she boldly asserts.

The Theatre Company’s world premiere of Benediction is a powerful drama made up of three interwoven family stories set on the High Plains of Eastern Colorado. Video by John Moore. Run time: 2 minutes, 10 seconds.
