Meet the WilliamWorld Players! Today: Doris Lundergaard

Doris Lundergaard is a WilliamWorld virgin, making her debut as Queen Gertrude and concessionaire at the cupcake table in this year’s faire after a lengthy absence from the theatre, Shakespeare and anything else that doesn’t involve loading up a minivan and driving one of her kids to somewhere just east of Golden Valley. 

Despite her break from acting, she is an avid fan of theatre when they don’t use the f-word too much. 

Doris Lundergaard is played by Holly Windle.

Holly started acting in community theatre at the age of seven in Arlington, Virginia.  Now a voice actor with Voicebox Talent, she also is part of the acting troupe for the Barbara Schneider Foundation’s crisis intervention training program.  She has a master’s degree in Speech-Communication from the University of Minnesota, where she has participated in educational role-playing for the Dept. of Mortuary Science and the Law School.  She has worked with Theatre Terra Firma, Gadfly Theatre Productions, Eat Street Players, Flower Shop Project, Bedlam, and Rosetown Playhouse, as well as singing with The Gilbert & Sullivan Very Light Opera Company.  

More than 100 of her limericks have been approved for the on-lineOmnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form, and her book about an Iraqi-Armenian woman pianist,Baghdad Barcarolle, was published in 2008.
