PERFORMING BIO
Ginger is a native Michigan girl, originally from Grand
Rapids, where she got her start in theatre and the
“business side of things” at age six. By age nine, she
was running a profitable childcare business and
performing in every hospital, nursing home, and tulip
festival in all of West Michigan, both solo and with her
dance studio. (At one of these gigs she was
“discovered” by a talent scout from Star Search and
went on to win the “Jr. Vocalist” title for the state of
Michigan.)
Her first professional theater gig was playing the role
of Molly in Annie (starring The Facts of Life’s Charlotte
Rae, dir. Richard Sabellico) at age ten at the Cherry
County Playhouse in West Michigan. Since her
professional performing debut she has had the
privilege of sharing the stage with household names
such as Theodore Bikel, Sandy Duncan, Estelle Harris
(Seinfeld), Peter Scolari, and Eddie Mekka, as well as
collaborating with wonderful and esteemed directors
and choreographers in the theater business. Her
most recent gig was performing in Li’l Abner at the
Goodspeed Opera House (dir. Scott Schwartz).
Though the majority of her work has taken place in
professional venues, Ginger is no stranger to the
community theatre here in Grand Rapids. Grand
Rapids credits include: Annie (Annie) 1995, The Sound
of Music, Kiss Me, Kate, A Year with Frog and Toad at
the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre; Gypsy and Jesus
Christ Superstar at Circle Theatre; and Candide
(Paquette) with the Hope College Theatre Department.
After living and working as a singer/dancer/actress in
New York, Ginger is blessed to be back in Grand
Rapids and to reside where she calls home. She
currently is an Event Singer at wedding ceremonies,
holiday parties, retirement parties, and memorial
services, and she tutors middle and high school
students.
PERSONAL BIO
Ginger is a graduate of Hope College (Magna Cum
Laude, B.A.’s in Spanish and Women’s Studies), in
Holland, Michigan, where she was blessed to study
and nurture her faith in a liberal arts environment.
Her politically active roots have carried her to Chile,
Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Mexico, as well, where
she has taken courses and done activist work with
women in living in poverty. She moved to New York
immediately following school and was pleasantly
surprised to find that her Spanish was also great
for getting discounts at the local deli.
Currently, Ginger is in school at Calvin College, where
she is pursuing her Bachelor’s in Education (Spanish K-
12). Her current interests include (but are not limited
to) singing in her car, cooking, kickboxing, Facebook,
her Event Singing business, and attending shows here
in GR and in Chicago.
