Allison Deratzian is a self-proclaimed “itinerant conjurer” who is frequently seen onstage with various theater groups in the Philadelphia area in both musical and non-musical roles. She first encountered the script for ‘night, Mother in 1992 and has been haunted by the story ever since. Never in several million years did she expect to have the opportunity to bring it to the stage, and she is still not entirely sure this is real.  

Recent credits have included Betsy/Lindsey in Clybourne Park with The Drama Group of Germantown, Chick Boyle in Crimes of the Heart with Acting Naturally, Inc. in Langhorne, and the regional premier of The Charitable Sisterhood of the Second Trinity Victory Church at Actors’NET of Bucks County.
