Terri is beyond excited to see Chess, Amaryllis Studio’s very first production, come to life! Terri has been an actress in the Richmond and surrounding area for over 50 years including stage, film and television work. In 2005, she won best actress in a feature film at the Bare Bones International Film Festival for her role as Nora in When Love Walks In. 2020 brought us many things, but it brought Terri the role of a lifetime as Della in The Cake at RTP (Richmond Theatre Critics Circle Best Actress Winner). Other favorite roles include Charlotte in Moon over Buffalo, Louise in Always Patsy Cline(an RTCC nominee) and Lily in On the 20th Century. Her directing credits include Anything Goes, HTC One Act Festival, and A Christmas Carol. She is also an acting and speech coach and welcomes new students to reach out at Amaryllisstudios.com.

Leanna Hicks
Leanna wears many hats in the theatre community! She started acting when she was 5 years old and continues to perform any chance she gets! Soon, stage managing became another theatrical passion that she has now done professionally for 10 years around the Richmond area! But the newest hat that she wears is creating content for Social Media! She finds so much joy creating in a world where everything is right at your fingertips because so much can now reach so many within just seconds. So she is honored to have the opportunity to bring the world of CHESS to everyone! She wants to thank Terri Moore for bringing her into her passion project and always supporting her crazy dreams!
