Peg Scanlon Murphy
- Actress
Peg Murphy's professional work as a teacher, first at Montrose School in
Medfield, Massachusetts and later at the Imago School in Maynard,
Massachusetts, provided opportunities to direct young people in dramatic
productions. She considers her roles as wife, mother of seven, and grandmother
of eighteen to be her most beloved work. Since her first role as the Wicked Witch of
the West over fifty years ago, Peg has continued to marvel at the joy that comes
from working with a team to bring great stories to life on stage. Her love for her
own Irish heritage has convinced her of the greatness of the story of Daniel
O'Connell. Having played the role in the stage performance in 2017, Peg is
grateful and delighted to be resuming her part as the elderly Cathleen for whom
Daniel O'Connell was like a son.
