ELLEN REILLY
(Millie)
Ellen has been playing sketchy characters since 1986, when she graduated from the 2-Year Junior College Accelerated Thursday Night Adults Program with a (framed) Certificate in Sketchiness, College of New Rochelle… and that's the only part of this bio that isn't true. Ellen's other credits include many, many comedies, a few dramas, fewer commercials than she would like, some audio books she wishes other people would like, some budget costuming, an unfinished independent film here and there, lots of corporate videos, a little producing, improv improv improv, you know… She's a serial theater company joiner-upper. Get a load of this -- Company Member: Emerging Artists Theatre; Courthouse Theatre Company; TOSOS II; The Improvoholics. Her latest roles on stage have been satisfying to her, and often to the audience as well. If you care to know what they were, here you go: Mrs. Anderson in "The Play About the Naked Guy," Carolina in "Sister Cities," Miss Havasnort and Mr. Bunting in "Penny Penniworth," Leslie J. McMahon in "Bernadette and The Butcher of Broadway" and "Tonylust"… oh there were lots of them. Thank you for reading this.
