Read our latest issue of ScriptForward!

Leading American actress Kathleen Chafant (WIT, ANGELS IN AMERICA) starred in Anne's ten-minute play AND THEN I WENT INSIDE at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York City in November, 2009. Miss Chalfant encouraged Anne to expand the play, and she turned it into a full-length work. THE STACY PLAY - A LOVE SONG - VOLUME I appeared in TRANSITIONS, a virtual juried exhibit at Pen and Brush, Inc. one of the oldest and most prestigious women's arts collectives in the nation. Anne's ANOTHER WHITE SHIRT (a multimedia play) and her poem "Gondolier" also won places in the exhibit. Anne read scenes from the plays at the opening.
