This March, Raven-Symone took over the leading role of Deloris Van Cartier in Broadway's SISTER ACT, following Patina Miller. Actress and singer Raven-Symone is best known for her role in the Emmy-nominated comedy series, "That's So Raven," on the Disney Channel, for which she received three NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Performance in a Youth/Children's Series/Special and two Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards for Favorite Television Actress. "That's So Raven" received the 2008 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Children's Series/Special and was nominated for two primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Children's Program in 2005 and 2007. Raven was named producer for the series' fourth season which aired in 2007.

Most recently, Raven starred on the ABC Family comedy "State of Georgia," which marked her return to television after a five year hiatus. Raven's film credits include Roger Kumble's College Road Trip opposite Martin Lawrence; Garry Marshall's The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement opposite Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews; and Dr. Dolittle and Dr. Dolittle 2 opposite Eddie Murphy.
