Her recent work here includes the solo performances "Looped" (Tallulah Bankhead), "Red Hot Patriot" (Molly Ivins), and "What the Constitution Means to Me," and, as director, "The Garbologists" and "Inside Out: Men Behind Bars," which she adapted from the writings of incarcerated men at FCI Tucson. She spent nearly a decade in the San Francisco Bay Area, acting with Palo Alto Players, leading The Pear Theatre in Mountain View as Artistic Director, and founding the multi-campus theatre program at Stratford Schools, where she served as program director for both theatre and Speech & Debate. Earlier, in Tucson, she was Professor of Theatre Arts at Pima Community College, where she started the college's Children's Theatre program and served as interim director of the Theatre program before moving to the University of Arizona to teach acting, directing, voice and movement, and period style. She holds an M.F.A. in acting and directing from the University of Arizona and a B.A. in theatre arts from the University of Minnesota Moorhead. Thirty-four years after that first entrance, the entrances are hers to give.
