Dale Soules Returns to James Lecesne's THE MOTHER OF INVENTION with Third SAG Award

Broadway veteran Dale Soules has returned to New York with her third consecutive Screen Actors Guild Award in the category of Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy for her work on the smash-hit Netflix series ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK. Dale plays no-nonsense inmate Frieda Berlin who boasts neck tattoos and knows a lot about murder. She just wrapped shooting Season 5 of the award-winning series.

Dale, who is currently co-starring in James Lecesne's play Mother of Invention at the Abingdon Theatre Company, flew to Los Angeles for the SAG Awards for a quick 24-hour turn-around to get back to the show.
