Faith Wang (she/her) is excited to make her Transformation Theatre debut as Amy. Faith got back on stage in 2022 after a decade-long hiatus from acting, and now can’t get enough! She is proud to be a Chinese-American creator. Recent theatre credits include Leanne in Puffs at Silhouette Stages, Inga in Young Frankenstein at Rockville Musical Theatre, and Alexi Darling in Rent at The Fredericktowne Players. She currently serves on the board of directors for Rockville Musical Theatre. When not performing, Faith works at Washington National Cathedral in DC creating engaging experiences for kids and families (and building the largest LEGO cathedral in the world!). Big thanks to Carl for having “faith”.
