Sybil CrosslyFemale30-39 y.o.All ethnicities

An assistant stage manager with this third rate theatre company. Hired to keep watch over the old guys, she is the glue that keeps the show together –both the play and the play within the play. Efficient and smart (too smart for this place!), with a deep down desire to be a director, she “herds the cats”with urgency and heart, and helps each of them discover important truths about themselves.
