Have I correctly used ‘crucial role as’ in the statement?
Danah performs her crucial role as a stepmother to Kyle.
Danah performs her crucial role as a stepmother to Kyle.

Yes, that works well although, depending on context, you could use 'a' rather than 'her'. You could also argue that the 'a' is unnecessary as there is only one stepmother (we assume) and therefore the determiner is redundant. Another option is to use 'the' and 'of': Danah performs the crucial role of stepmother to Kyle.

- I'm not convinced that any specific version is more 'correct' than the rest!
