Hello everyone and welcome to my site! I am a professional EMC stage actor located in the historic Richmond, Virginia. I discovered my love for singing at a very young age and started performing regionally and professionally at the age of nine! My first “big gig” was at the age of ten when I was part of the replacement cast for the National tour of Annie. I continued performing all across Virginia throughout high school. I then got my B.A. in Theater Performance from Liberty University where I received two Irene Ryan nominations and the Excellence in Performance award. Oh yeah, I also married my high school sweetheart somewhere in there (I know I know, I am too young)! After graduating, me and my hubby moved back to Richmond and I began performing professionally all across Virginia in shows like, Hunchback of Notre Dame (Esmeralda in the Virginia premier), Beauty and the Beast, In the Heights (Understudied Broadway’s Ariel Jacobs as Vanessa and went on 3 times), and Mamma Mia (Sophie).  I am super excited to see what the future holds! Thanks for visiting! Have a question for me? Email me at makenziermercer@gmail.com
