Meet the Cast of MISERY
Justine Moser as Annie Wilkes
Justine is thrilled to make her Spencer Theatre debut with this incredible adaptation of a novel by one of her favorite authors. A lifelong Stephen King fan, she’d say she’s his number one fan, but... that makes her feel a bit oogie. Originally from South Dakota, Justine has been performing since childhood and studied Theatre and English in college before earning a master’s degree in Educational Theatre from NYU. She currently serves as the Education Programs Coordinator for the UIS Performing Arts Center and is a member of Capitol City Improv.
William Goldman’s stage adaptation of Stephen King’s MISERY, presented by Spencer Theatre Company and directed by John Sivak, will be performed at the Hoogland Center for the Arts on October 9-11 and 16-18.
