Mona Lim is Korean-American and grew up in Iowa. She is also a Yale dropout who abandoned a career in medicine to pursue theatre. She eventually found her niche and has spent 30+ years teaching/directing children and young adults. After raising a generation of artists, it suddenly dawned on Mona that she had once had her own dreams of performing so she started auditioning about 18 months ago and quickly found herself playing Tanya (Cougar) in Mamma Mia, Fraulein Kost (Pro-Nazi Prostitute) in Cabaret and Electra (Stripper) in Gypsy. Her children and granddaughter are grateful that she will be playing something age-appropriate (and fully dressed) in Ragtime. Appearing in her first professional show since 1997, Mona is thrilled to be demonstrating that your third act should be all about living your dreams and doing what you love!
