While serving as Drama Director for the City of Phoenix, Anderson started the Phoenix Free Shakespeare Festival, supervised over 80 citywide drama classes, and sponsored a New Playwright’s Festival. His book, An Essay on the Meaning of Hamlet: A Director’s Approach was published in 1979. An updated version with his adapted acting script is due for publication. |

Talented beyond belief, she fashioned the dozen exquisite ball masks for last summer’s staging of Much Ado About Nothing.

In addition, she has stage-managed more than 12 shows here. |
