Assistant Director | MADELINE NUSS*

Madeline is thrilled to be in her first semester here at the University of Iowa! She is a vocal performance and theatre arts double major on the musical theatre track, and has never been involved in a piece quite like Global Express. Her recent roles are mostly cynical old men: Old Man Jenkins in SpongeBob SquarePants: the Musical; and Maurice in Madagascar: the musical (Theatre Cedar Rapids). Needless to say, she hopes you enjoy the show!
