Proposed changes[edit]

Hello, these are the proposed changes to Susan Mosher's wiki page. I'm a first time editor so if I've incorrectly cited or formatted something, feel free to edit/fix it. I can provide additional citation articles if needed. I wasn't sure how do to the TV/Film and awards sections in a Table format so I left in paragraph format. Lastly, while her formal stage name is Susan Mosher, she is also known as "Susie Mosher" - I wasn't sure if there should be wiki redirect or just put in as a parenthetical at the top? Thank you in advance for your thoughts and help!

I'm having a formatting issue posting the external links on this talk page. The only citation for her appearance in the West Coast premiere of Godspell was an old newpaper article that I've linked below. If anything needs additional citation, I'll do my best to provide.
