PRAISE FOR ZOË LAIZ...
Zoë co-narrates Weeping Under This Same Moon by Jana Laiz, a moving and timely story about a Vietnamese refugee and the outcast American teenager who befriends her.
Zoë is thrilled to be working with WAM Theater once again, this time reading Adrienne in Cry it Out by Molly Smith Metzler, as part of WAM's annual Fresh Takes reading series.
Currently in post-production, Zoë plays Camille, an over-eager sales associate in Carlotta Summer's proof-of-concept short, American Retail.
"...crafted with an expansiveness that does not surrender character to caricature..."

"Everyone else in the cast is superb, with Ms. Laiz, whose part is small but flashy, making the biggest impression. She has the kind of star quality that you notice the moment she walks on stage."
