Lucy Conroy( Big Jule / Little Isadore / Ensemble) Lucy Conroy is so excited to be back on the TCR stage, having previously been seen in Jersey Boys( Francine Valli). Since Lucy has been typecast as the large, intimidating gambler man, she has spent the last few months getting into character at the casino, scaring the local gambling community and betting her savings away. Her Venmo is @ lucyeconroy if you would like to donate to the cause. When she’ s not at the casino or TCR, Lucy can be found running around town to get fast for some reason and writing and performing comedy for SPT Theatre. Thanks to her ever-supportive partner, Calvin, and to Matt for the opportunity. Let’ s shoot crap!
