Hi, I’m Millie Dizon and I’m so excited to be in my first podcast as Rabbit! I have enjoyed being in multiple different musicals and a few radio plays, and I’m so thrilled to be a part of this project. Some of my favorite past roles include Jack Kelly in “Newsies” and Linus in “You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown.” In my spare time I love writing, creating songs, and making comics. I hope you enjoy the podcast!
