MORE ABOUT ME
The King & I changed my life. When I was in second grade, my class was selected to be the king's children in a school production done by the 8th grade. It was my first exposure to live, musical theater and I could not believe it when I discovered people actually had careers doing this. I went home and memorized "Getting to Know You" and sang it for the class the next day. Appreciating my enthusiasm, my teacher assigned me a line: "Please do not go away," when Mrs. Anna is threatening to go back to England. I immediately decided I would be a Broadway musical actress star. Thankfully, I am as smart as I am passionate and quickly realized that other people could sing and act far better than I. So I started organizing backyard productions, and writing scripts. And the rest, they say, is theater history. Those first notes of the orchestra striking up “March of the Siamese Children” still bring goosebumps after all these years.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
Creating a non profit that will focus on works for and by people 40 and up. Also a couple of reading series and a couple of productions for different regions with a producing partner.

KEYWORDS
Theater woman, 40+, Playwright, Producer, Christian
