Her performance highlights include Edges (Sop. 2), Avenue Q (Christmas Eve), The Taming of the Shrew (Grumio), Snake in the Grass (Miriam Chester), Man of La Mancha (Antonia), and The Rocky Horror Show (Usherette). Ann is incredibly honored to have received a 2017 regional award for “Best Ensemble in a Play”—along with fellow actresses Lisa Gazzillo and Teri Maxwell—in Snake Ann as a “Protean” in the Grass. You may also in A Funny Thing Happened on the catch her in M. Night Shya- Way to the Forum malan’s Glass (scheduled to open next year) in which she got to flex some of her foreign language muscles.
