A NOTE FROM MONETTE
Welcome and thank you for visiting my website!
Whether on stage or screen, I act to contribute to the world — telling stories to people in the dark, in hopes that through communion, we'll all live more deeply. As an artist, I love to find the grace in tragedy and the intelligence in comedy.
