This is in addition to a lengthy stage career that’s seen her essay roles in classics from A Streetcar Named Desire to Death Of A Salesman. I met Sondra Currie at the Chiller Theatre convention in October of 2019, as shown in the cover photo, and exchanged contact info there. On Thursday, January 30th, we had a wide-ranging talk about her career. I hope you all enjoy getting to know her. Say hello to Sondra Currie! Sondra: How are you? Johnny: I’m doing good.
