UPCOMING:

April 1 liva Richardson describes herself as a bohemian, personally and professionally. “I think most actors would. I’ve had the good fortune to work with all kinds of people, in all kinds of places, doing all kinds of things. I grew up in Orlando, Florida, which has an awesome melting pot of opportunities and experiences for kids who are interested in the arts,” she added.

Goodyear 5K Run/Walk. 9am. Goodyear Golf Course. Danville Running & Fitness Club - FB. Barn Quilt Painting. 11am3pm. Main Street Art Collective. mainstreetartcollective.com. Karaoke Night - 6pm. The Homeplace Vineyard. 434.432.9463.

Richardson began acting at age 9 in a production of Jack and the Beanstalk. “I played Jack’s grandmother. It was a school play, but it was thrilling nonetheless.” A mishap nearly derailed the show. The actor playing Jack forgot his lines, and the cast had to wing its way through the rest of the play. “It was terrifying and amazing, and I was completely hooked.”

Even though her first role was at age 9, Richardson caught the acting bug earlier in life. “When I was 3, I was obsessed with the film adaptation of Hello, Dolly! starring Barbra Streisand. I knew every song, dance, and line by heart. I remember saying, early on, I wanted to be an actor.”

A year after her first role, Richardson discovered Lucille Ball. “Not just her I Love Lucy persona, but Lucille Ball, the actress. She had an amazing dramatic film career pre-television.” Studying
