AS A PERFORMER
First as a teen-aged hippie-chick with my guitar then as an operatic soprano, I have never stopped performing. My personal journey has taken me from tiny coffee houses to Carnegie Hall – and everything in between including comedy. This gives me a personal understanding of the many challenges and rewards of standing before an audience, something which I still enjoy.
AS A PRODUCER
I began producing as well as directing classic musicals and shows as a choral director in a small high school. After courses with the Commercial Theatre Institute in New York City, I designed and co-wrote the show Duelling Divas as well as creating the character of “The Baroness.” Duelling Divas toured the country with more than 50 performances in eleven states. As founder and Executive Director of Opera Fusion, Inc., a Florida non-profit, I spearheaded fundraising and mounted the successful full-production, world premiere of the musical drama Not In My Town at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in the fall of 2016.
