Proud Mary Theatre Company continues to push the boundaries of theatre during the Covid-19 crisis as we open our 4th season with the 20th anniversary production of The Laramie Project, the award-winning play by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project.

This is a FULL PRODUCTION (not a ZOOM reading) and will be presented as a Virtual Multimedia Experience available for streaming Tuesday, October 6, 2020 on the 22nd anniversary of the attack of gay college student Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming, and ends on October 12, the day Shepard died and became a martyr for establishing hate crime legislation in the gay rights movement.

Kelly Davis (she/her/hers) is happy to have found her tribe with Proud Mary after performing in The Pink Unicorn and Fun Home.  A transplant from New York City, Kelly has worked as an actress, yoga instructor and bartender as well as with her husband Aaron who owns Palmetto State Solar in Greenville.  Kelly is a Teaching Artist with the Warehouse Theatre and SmartARTS programs in Greenville.  She has performed in Upstate SC with Mill Town Players, Centre Stage and the Greenville Chorale.  Kelly holds a BFA in Acting from Marymount Manhattan College, with a minor in Musical Theatre as well as attended the British American Dramatic Academy, Upright Citizens Brigade, Michael Howard and Penny Templeton Studios.
