Love Marilyn Olsen, I have been privileged to work with her for many years, in the medical field, and during this time have seen a handful of her plays and musicals. I am so inspired by her ability to work as hard as she does caring for her patients, yet still having the time and energy to go after her dreams and also continue to as she says break gender norms and make no apologies for it. I can’t wait to see a lipstick project production. Hopefully soon.

Thank you for sharing that reflection! I had the privilege of seeing a tour-de-force performance when she portrayed Opera singer Maria Callas in Master Class-amazing performer!
Marilyn represents the strength women of today’s world exhibit in life. She is passionate in her cause and carries that passion with a sense of great responsibility. She is a gift to the world of talent. How lucky for us that she chooses to share her gift with all. Bravo Marilyn!
