Dana has done time on stages across the country. She recently returned
from the 2008 Kentucky
Shakespeare Festival in Louisville, KY, where
she worked with Artistic Director, Curt Tofteland, who pioneered a hugely
successful Sheakespeare program at Kentucky's Luther Luckett Prison, and
about whom the award-winning documentary Shakespeare
Behind Bars was made.
Her professional season
where she performed in JULIUS
CEASAR (Calpurnia)
and PERICLES
(The Bawd, Dionyza, Princess Thaisa). She has also done Shakespeare
with the New Jersey Shakespeare Festival and Shakespeare San Francisco.
In Chicago, her home town, she has a long list of
stage credits, performing contemporary, classical and new work. She
has regularly performed her own original pieces at Chicago's funkily
prestigious "Abbie Hoffmann Died for our Sins" Festival.
Dana moved to Jamestown,
NY, 4 years ago, and made her Buffalo debut with the Irish Classical
Theatre Company's production of Dario Fo's THE ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN
ANARCHIST. In addition, she has performed with Theater of Youth,
Torn Space, and Buffalo Lab Theater.
She has produced her own new work at the 05' and
06' Buffalo Infringement
Festival, where she performed MY
HAIR PIECE and
Queen KonG.
Subversive Theatre is proud to have a such an
experienced and well-traveled eclectic actress among our ranks. Thus
far, Dana has been a part of our staged readings of BURY
THE DEAD (2005), WAITING
FOR LEFTY (May Day, 2006), and SPEAK
TRUTH TO POWER
(May Day, 2007).
Most recently Dana appeared in our production of
PALACE
OF THE END
at the grand opening of "The
Manny Fried Playhouse." She was very pleased to at long
last have the opportunity to appear with Subversive Theatre in a full-scale
production . . . and we were more than pleased to get her into the mix.
