Mrs. Givings: Kaity Talmage-Bowers
Kaity Talmage-Bowers returns to the Denver stage after nearly a decade away and is absolutely invigorated to be part of this electric production, working with such a talented cast and crew. A Denver native, Kaity received her BA in Drama from Loyola University New Orleans, where favorite shows include The Winter's Tale (Hermione), and The Oldest Profession (Ursula). The winds of Hurricane Katrina blew Kaity to Chicago where she spent five years working in front and back stage roles at various theaters including, The Goodman (King Lear), Victory Gardens (The Defiant Muse) and the Hypocrite Theater Company (Miss. Julie), while completing her Master's degree in Youth Development and Women's Studies. She is particularly enthusiastic about The Vibrator Play as the play’s issues are just as relevant as ever. Kaity is passionate about encouraging women to continue to empower themselves and each other by climbing on top and holding their own umbrellas!
