Suzanne Whitaker is a Georgia native now living in Arizona. She is a retired sailor - Go Navy! - and semi-retired attorney, mediator, arbitrator, and professor. A fan of the stage since before she can remember, Suzanne studied ballet and enjoyed playing oboe and piano, and she still sings in the car. She has performed in youth and community theatre and loves a good show, except for courtroom drama: enough of that, already. Suzanne has coached and judged drama, high school mock trial, and law student competitions. She is delighted to join Broadway World, and is grateful to Herb Paine and Alan Henry for the intro.
