Linda Lee Thomas (Mrs. Cole Porter) (Deborah Robin)
Deborah is “Ridin’ High” with happiness to join P3 Theatre Company in its West Coast Regional Premier of Love, Linda! Previously, she appeared as Doris Day in P3 Theatre’s production of Day After Day, and is delighted to work with this stellar team again. Deborah has also worked with The L.A. Opera in The Magic Flute, and played Grace Farrell in Glendale Centre Theatre’s Annie. Other performances include: title role in the scenie-award-winning Mary Poppins (GCT), Sibella in A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (Actors’ Repertory Theater of Simi), Mary Todd in The Lincolns of Springfield-In Concert (Premier Theatrical Productions, featuring Broadway’s Michael Halling as Lincoln), Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera (Gaslight Theatre), Amalia in She Loves Me (North Carolina Theatrefest), and Catherine in The Heiress (North Carolina State Theatre). You can hear her voice as Grandma Phone in the delightful Alana Banana Show, and can watch her play the tightly-wound Dr. Anna in the musical web series Home for Mom. Deborah holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from North Carolina State University, with post-graduate studies at The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). She performed at the famous Gaslight Theater in Arizona for several years as one of their starring actress/singer/dancers, and even produced a show there (Sugartime!) that featured the music of Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney, Judy Garland, and many more. Deborah is also a certified yoga instructor, voice teacher, Musical Director and Director for La Canada Jr. Theatre, mother of two sweet daughters, and married to the most supportive wonderful guy in the world (I love you my Forest!). She is deeply grateful to work with P3 on this production, and hopes that this show leaves you feeling “more than Wunderbar”!
