545        |a Colette grew up on a farm in County Wexford, a town in Ireland about 100 miles from Dublin. She got into theatre when she was a teenager, and stage management when she was a bit older. She eventually began working with the Abbey Theatre. In 1999 she went to the Lincoln Center Festival working as a stage manager with Abbey Theatre. There, she met Crew Chief Jason. They knew there was a spark, so when she went back to Ireland, they did long distance. In November of 2000, Colette moved to NYC on a k1 visa, and they got married January. They lived in NYC until 2006, after the birth of their second child. They now live in Middlesex County with two kids, and this January will have been married 23 years!
