How I Got My Equity Card: “When I lived in California, I went (as a non-union member) to the ECC for Wicked in LA. Six months later I received a call that I got the job on Broadway and they would need me to start days later. I packed a suitcase, got on a plane, and never looked back! That's how I got my Equity card!”

A crowd of people form a circle around Webber as she runs across the stage, hand outstretched to touch some.
