Sonia moves gracefully from sweet librarian to streethard crack wh*re. With over 10 years as a Standardized Patient for area medical schools, she brings a nuanced approach to every part. Sonia's first play, Conversations 'Bout The Girls—a celebration of women & their breasts—marks its 20th anniversary in 2025 with its 17th production, a milestone for her as playwright. She remains committed to casting a diverse range of ethnically and physically varied women. LA BASED. LOCAL HIRE: DC
