Career
editOriginally Moody has wanted to be an actor, and attended the Edinburgh Festival Fringe at the age of 17 as an intern for a small production company. [5] The exposure to new theatrical forms helped inspire her career as a producer.[5]
Moody produced her first Fringe show when an actor friend named Alex Waldmann asked her to help him produce his show.[2] This led to her eventually producing more shows.[6]
