In Development...Anne has dramaturged
THE BALLAD OF GEORGIE PORGIE, a one-man musical play in a cabaret written and performed by George Marcy. George performed the role of Bernardo in the original WEST SIDE STORY. The show will play in New York this September. Bob Goldstone is serving as musical director and co-writer.
Randolph Hobler's BANJO BOYS, a bio-musical about the composer Meredith Willson (THE MUSIC MAN).
SAVING THE LIVES OF STRANGERS by Alex Beech, which enjoyed an SRO crowd at a late February reading at Primary Stages in NYC. Alex is a Columbia University graduate and one of six playwrights in Primary Stages' Dorothy Strelsin New American Writers Group.
TAG, a play about the absurdities of giving care to a parent with Alzheimer's by Jean Chodkowski; and TOGETHER, a screenplay set in WWII Poland by Fran Tarr. Lynn Nottage's LAS MENINAS was published by Dramatists Play Service Inc.
Andrew Barrett's play CIRCUITRY (formerly titled RAINY DAYS & MONDAYS) has been published by Samuel French. Anne served as production dramaturg for RAINY DAYS & MONDAYS, which was named one of the best plays written in an American graduate scriptwriting program in 2004. Then it was a hit at the 2006 New York International Fringe Festival and was extended in the first annual Encore Series.
Enrique Menendez's short film AboutFace was chosen for the New York AIDS Film Festival and was screened on World AIDS Day on Dec. 1st. Anne served as dramaturg, helping Enrique to turn his poem "Trigger" into the narrative for the film, and assisting with other artistic decisions, including continuity, image choice, and structural integrity. Other collaborators include Henry B. Lee (Director of Photography/Editor) and DJ/Producer Randy Bettis (Sound Editor).
Ivan Fuller's play EATING INTO THE FABRIC is a semi-finalist for this year's Eugene O'Neill Playwrights Conference. You can hear a South Dakota NPR Radio interview about Anne's direction of the play at Augustana College in South Dakota by clicking here. In December Anne enjoyed great success in a one week residency in early December as Guest Artist at Augustana where she taught three master classes (Dramaturgy, Playwrighting and Collaboration) and three writer's workshops, as well as directing the reading. Click here for the NPR interview on the play's development history (Anne served as dramaturg).
2007 Highlights... In 2007, Anne dramaturged several new scripts in New York City including Dorothy Leeds' one woman show GOOD LESSONS FROM BAD WOMEN, Costume Designer Carrie Robbins' full-length play THE DEATH & LIFE OF DR. CUTTER, and a new translation by Carolyn Balducci of Dovizi's 1513 play LA CALANDRA. These three writers are members of the League of Professional Theatre Women. The Naked Stage presented a reading of LA CALANDRA at the Montauk Public Library on February 8th, 2008. This classical comedy was even more engaging on stage than on the page! All three plays are currently seeking productions. Please use our contact page for any inquiries.
