Hi there! My name is Anna.

I am an actor, educator, and devising artist currently based in Washington, DC. I am passionate about ensemble-based, socially conscious theatre that embraces identity and challenges perspective. I love to be involved with new works in all stages of development and believe that interdisciplinary collaboration creates pure magic on stage. My favorite work challenges form and reminds audiences that they come to the theater not just to observe, but to engage. As a queer artist, I seek to create artistic families and communities wherever I am. We are our stories. How can we tell them together?

CURRENT PROJECT

HERE THERE ARE BLUEBERRIES

In 2007, a mysterious album featuring Nazi-era photographs arrived at the desk of a U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist. Based on real events, Here There Are Blueberries unravels the story of these historical photographs, what they reveal about the perpetrators of the Holocaust, and our own humanity.
