Cecilia Lovelace (Ruth) is a senior at Middle Tennessee State University studying vocal performance. She has performed internationally with choirs in Paris, France, and Dublin, Ireland, as well as at Carnegie Hall in New York City. At MTSU, she has appeared in several opera productions and concerts. Her favorite part of this production has been bringing the humor and heart of Ruth to life alongside such a talented cast. She gives her heartfelt thanks to her parents, her sister Emily, her boyfriend Cameron, and her instructors Ms. Cancryn and Mr. Joseph Walker for their constant love and support, as well as to her directors for this wonderful opportunity. God bless.
