Angelle Albright

Angelle Albright has spent her life in the theater, not on the stage though, but rather as faithful member of the audience. She fell in love as a little girl when her talented sister was magically morphed into one of the Von Trapp Family children that she had adored on television. She wore out her Rodgers & Hammerstein vinyl tracks trying to sound like them, but she promptly had to admit that red velvet seats would be her destiny. Her love of theater was cemented in the eighties when the monumental works of Webber and Schönberg & Boubil rose to prominence, but having the privilege to see Michael Ball sing from the front row of a London Theater, hooked her forever! Angelle graduated from Loyola University in Broadcast Journalism and English, and spent nearly a decade as Chief News Editor at the ABC affiliate in New Orleans. She taught High School English and Journalism until retiring to raise her three children, who are now 22, 20, 18. During her stint as a stay-at-home mom, she stayed busy doing photography, videography, and freelance writing for a premier local magazine and Huffington Post. She had the honor of working with New York Times Best Selling author and Rwandan genocide survivor, Immaculee Ilibagiza, developing speaking videos in Africa, as well as developing her online presence through blogging and social media. A diagnosis of breast cancer, caused her to become an accidental entrepreneur founding a company, which she recently sold, called Chemo Beanies, which creates fashionable headwear for women undergoing chemotherapy. One of her greatest joys in life has been watching some of her children enjoy the stage, and over the past decade she has enjoyed her time as a prop master and having the privilege of doing professional videography and photography for local productions. Angelle attends scores of productions from Broadway to local community theater annually, and she feels writing for Broadway World is a natural step for her to share her love of the stage with others.
