As a writer Ann has taken a great interest in the spoken word, the oral tradition. Once upon a time it began with her love for Celtic Mythology which led to writing her own mythology which led to writing the mythology of others. A professional actor and director for 40 years, Ann began writing for the stage with her first solo play DISCOURSE OF A MAID, a melding of modern and Celtic mythology inspired by Joseph Campbell which she performed in venues in Florida, Minnesota and Ohio. This became the first part of THE AWEN TRILOGY, followed by the solo plays: MOVEMENT OF A MODRON and SONG OF THE CAILLEACH. She created two Storyteller Plays, ANNIES CELTIC KITCHEN, songs, stories and proverbs all based on the foods being served to a small audience at tables and OUT OF A THREE-LEGGED POT, an assortment of tales, the order of which is chosen by audience members literally out of a three-legged pot. She originally wrote LINDA LOVELY GOES TO BROADWAY as one of four pieces to be presented in an intimate setting as a story read to a small audience. When it was transformed into a play, the narrative prose was retained and in fact the Narrator became a character. Each story honors an exceptional being with whom Ann worked and played and experienced a profound reflection of humanity. TREVORS FIRE also became a solo play. A GRAIL KNIGHT NAMED CHRISTOPHER will become a two-character play and AIMEE AND THE XYMOX a multi-character childrens play. Ann is also co-writing a two-character play with Blake Walton based on comic genius Beatrice Lillie. Ann was honored with The 2010 John Ringling Towers Fund Award for LINDA LOVELY GOES TO BROADWAY and her performance of the play at the 2012 United Solo Festival garnered her the Best Actress Award. Her other play in the festival was honored with Best Premiere for performer Blake Walton. Ann is a recipient of the Theatre World Award, Drama Desk Award© Nomination, Drama-Logue Award, SAMMY Award, HANDY Award, Sarasota Magazine Award and Best Plays Citation.
