Get to know Stranger on the River cast member, Moriah Martel, who is playing the Frog!

tell us about yourself:
I’m an actor born and raised all over the wild of rural New England, and the oldest of seven crazy kids. I’ve performed and studied with Classic Stage Company, Shakespeare and Company, Second City Chicago, CalArts Center for New Performance, The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Sarah Lawrence College and the California Institute of the Arts where I graduated with a BFA in acting last May. Currently I can be found bustling between shooting my first feature film, concocting original work with fellow CalArts/Chicago transplants, and in pre-production for feature comedy You Need to Stop as a co-writer/producer. I am also a proud new company member at Red Tape Theatre. Working on Stranger on the River has been a dream and I’m the luckiest lady to be able to tell this story alongside such awesome artists!

what's your favorite nature memory?
Guess I gotta go with losing track of time catching frogs all summer as a kid. I was obsessed!

what animal do you connect to?
Coyote!
