ONORA MCCAULEY
(Viola)
Onora is grateful to be in her first PlazaCo production! You may have seen her previously as Susan in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe at the Granbury Opera House, or as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet for The Harvest Moon Festival. Ever since she was a child, Onora has dreamed of being an actress. This unfortunately led to the constant annoyance of her family with musical soundtracks and movie quotes. She would like to thank her supportive friends and family, the director, and last but not least, John Candy for inspiring her comedically.
