At just 19, Fina Strazza has already made significant strides in Broadway, returning to the stage in 'John Proctor Is the Villain,' a production that resonates deeply with today's youth. Strazza, who made her debut at 8 in 'Matilda,' plays Beth in a story reflecting teenage struggles amidst societal issues. The play has garnered seven Tony nominations, underscoring its impact. Through her role, Strazza addresses how teenage girls are often misrepresented in theater, highlighting a more authentic representation of their challenges and experiences.
The amount of auditions I've done for a teenager who's angry, mean, and misunderstood... that's just the way teenage girls are seen. Being 17 and reading the play, I felt like I was being understood.
Every night, I have at least 10 girls least say to me, 'I was Beth in high school,' or, 'I am Beth now,' It's overwhelming how many young people are always at the stage door.
