Montica Reeves

One of our own, Montica Reeves, recently appeared in a Gilbert and Sullivan musical, The Yeomen of the Guard, at the Chance Theater in Anaheim. Montica played the role of Phoebe Meryll, the lead character.

It ran for several weeks in March and was a terrific show. Montica is was fabulous and as was part of an excellent cast. I couldn't believe how many great voices are in this show!

The Yeomen of the Guard tells the story of Colonel Fairfax during the last days of his imprisonment in the Tower. He has been denounced as a sorcerer, and is facing execution within the hour. Sergeant Meryll, a Yeoman of the Guard, and his daughter Phoebe, both of whom wish to save Fairfax, lead the audience through plot full of cunning twists.

Montica is a talented actress and singer. A graduate of Orange Coast College (AA, Theater Arts) and U.C. Irvine (BA, Drama), she is a credentialed teacher and has a growing list of professional credits. Among her credits: the role of Pippi with the national tour of Pippi LongStocking, the national tour of Babes in Toyland (Jill), Oklahoma (Ado Annie), Red Scare on Sunset (Mary Dale), a featured role on The Young and the Restless, and the lead in Could It Be A Miracle, a KCAL-TV production, Oxygen Network's Girls Behaving Badly, and numerous commercials.
