THE 39 STEPS at Drury Lane

“Watching the four performers in director David New’s seamlessly played, physically thrilling, brilliantly realized production at Drury Lane, I’d call The 39 Steps a tour de force ballet… a demonically demanding, laugh-out-loud frolic.”
-Chicago Sun-Times

“Brilliantly executed to thoroughly delightful effect by a lithe and enormously skilled quartet comprised of Jeff Dumas, Paul Kalina, Peter Simon Hilton, and Angela Ingersoll.”
-Daily Herald

BFFs: Mingela Kalingsoll

Is Everyone Hanging Out With out Me? Book Signing, Mindy Kaling & Angela Ingersoll

Ever feel a little left out? Well you were when Mindy Kaling dropped her book Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me (And Other Concerns). But chin up lonely-pants, because you can slumber party with your very own copy today! Head on over to The Concerns of Mindy Kaling and treat yourself. I seriously feel that this book was written just for me. Seriously, look at us two smart, sexy bookends in our sparkly sweaters. We didn’t even call each other to coordinate that. It’s called Kismet. Maybe one day we will call each other though, and intentionally wear cute, complementary outfits. And hang out and laugh. And watch TV and stuff. When we’re BFFs.

Special thanks to my escorts for the evening, Michael Ingersoll and Erich Bergen.

Brunch with The Bedwetter

Angela Ingersoll and Sarah Silverman

I recently had the good fortune to meet and share a cozy brunch with The Bedwetter herself, Ms. Sarah Silverman. The audacious comedian/actress was super cool, laid back, and generous of spirit. I, on the other hand, was tongue-tied, sweaty-palmed, and over-dressed. But boy was I grateful. I anticipate that in future meetings I will possess the maturity to use my words, rather than nodding wide eyed with eggs in my mouth the whole time. Thanks to the good folks at the LA Food Bank for the opportunity.

Chicago Sun-Times: Super Troupers

Showbiz couples learn to cope when parts keep them apart – and bring them back together again

…Like Cudia and Voytko, the Ingersolls met on the stage; they were asked to prepare the marriage proposal scene from The Importance of Being Earnest for a regional theater. It wasn’t long before they were rehearsing their own marriage proposal scene.

Spotlight on the Ingersolls: Vision, Persistence

It’s hard to imagine actors with this much talent attributing their success to “perseverance” and “discipline.” But that’s exactly what Michael and Angela Ingersoll say when asked by Metropolis Insider…

Angela relays, “You don’t have to be the most talented or beautiful or the smartest. You have to do everything you can to make it happen for yourself.”

RSVP Magazine: She’s a Star

CENTER STAGE: She’s known her passion forever: the desire to be center stage, in the heat of the lights, acting and singing her heart out. “I remember being three years old, taking my clothes off and saying, ‘Look, I’m Gypsy Rose Lee.'” While the stages have changed and the costumes have been a bit more complete, the passion of theatre and the drama of drama have stayed right in the heart of Ingersoll.

Know The Score: Music in Memphis

AI: The element of surprise in that is what I like, because we can be having a very realistic conversation, and suddenly one of us gets an idea that sends us into a rhapsody. All of the sudden you’re carried into all of these feelings and emotions coming from musical exploration. I really enjoy that about musical theatre. And then come back, to the simplicity of going on with regular life. But all these things are inside of you!

Up Close with Wizard of Oz Star

F & F Magazine: Without forcing you to become too philosophical, why do you think this show has had such a profound effect on the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community?

Ingersoll: I think many in the LGBT community can identify with that child who feels no one at home understands them and must forge out into the world to find their own identity. And once they get out into the world, realizing they can’t use the tools they were given growing up, must now utilize new tools as they’re discovered. Even the ‘home’ everyone is looking for is simply the realization that you must be comfortable with yourself.

Commercial Appeal Feature

I’m Angela Groeschen, No. 621

One part of her audition was risky, the bit of a bad actress acting badly. “If they didn’t laugh, I’d fall flat on my face. But they did.” Angela has put in long hours on stage in a variety of roles and knows what works. “You want, in 90 seconds, to fulfill their expectations about you. You can show versatility later.”

She is up for this. Enthusiastic and focused. Still a bit nervous. Talks a mile a minute.
