Lucy Rendler-Kaplan

Lucy hails from Skokie, Illinois. From the earliest beginnings as East Prairie School's "Scrooge" at the age of six that ended in the assembly's first standing ovation, Lucy Render-Kaplan knew what she wanted her future to hold: acting. The Piven Theatre Workshop in Evanston and its Young People's Company was Lucy's training ground. From there to "Actress of the Year" at Old Orchard Junior High to lead roles in "The Diviner's" and another standing ovation as director of the short story "Priscilla and the Wimps" to the Des Plaines Community Theatre's production of "Come Back to the Five & Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean" as Mona, Lucy's interest never waned.
