Lily Marcheschi
Lily Marcheschi (she/they) (who also is trying to adopt the name Riley, but keeps forgetting to tell people that, but then she will introduce herself as Riley to like, one person in the group, but now no one knows what her real name is, which, idk, could be kind of mysterious? Idk, lemme know if you think I should go full on Riley or stay with Lily. I’ll send out a google poll) Is a tall lady from SF, who is beyond jazzed to be here debuting her Companies first show, Horse Girls! This is Lily’s second directorial moment, not including all of the sketches she wrote, directed, and starred in at the Marcheschi dinner theatre when she was 7. She loves Mr. Bean, thinks the word “lover” is gross, and believes that all adults should be able to wear heelys to work without being ridiculed. She hopes that her brave and individualistic world views come through in this piee, and move each and every one of you in the audience.
