“Go big or go home. Because it’s true. What do you have to lose?”~Eliza Dushku

This quote is a favorite of Angie Mack because it is how she lives life and that is why I would like to introduce her to you. “Being drawn to the performing arts, everything I do is big; anything I have ever done, I have put 110 percent into it, whether performing, acting, directing or teaching,” she says.
