Audrey Corsa (Mary Page Marlowe) is set for a recurring role in the second season of the CBS All Access anthology series Tell Me A Story.

Season 2 will feature the tales of three iconic princesses – Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. (Season 1 weaved together dark stories based on The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, and Hansel and Gretel.) Corsa will play Taylor. While Taylor seems mousey at first, she has a hidden rage within. She knows her boyfriend has done something horrible, but she still tries to protect him. A graduate of the Juilliard School of Drama where she appeared as ‘Desdemona’ in Jonathan Rosenberg’s Othello, ‘Olivia’ in Arin Arbus’ Twelfth Night, and ‘Cassie’ in Branden Jacobs Jenkins’ Appropriate directed by Lila Neugebauer, Corsa also recently starred in The Tempest with the LA Philharmonic at The Walt Disney Concert Hall.
