Martha was
smitten with the G&S bug at age 10 when she sang Buttercup in a
full-stage school production. As an adult she hid out in the chorus of
the Savoy Company for 10 party years until she got the courage to step
into the spotlight again and has been performing major roles since
1986. Unabashedly incestuous, she's sung roles with all six of the
G&S societies in the Delaware Valley. She's played most of the
G&S contralto roles, sung in several International G&S
Festivals both in Philadelphia and Buxton, England, and enjoyed roles
in musicals and plays around the region. In addition she has done some
minor TV work and improvisational work training trial lawyers. Board
members of four local G&S societies have had to tolerate her
participation and three have suffered through her presidencies. "Like
Ko-Ko, they must learn to bear it!"
