**Diánna is tremendously excited to be directing Jim Tierney's Banshee of Bainbridge for the 2010 Fringe Festival this year. It's an amazing script, we have cast amazing actors, and I'm looking forward to the process very much.

**Diánna will be directing Carol Carpenter's Good Lonely People for the Planet Connections Theatre Festivity this June! GLP won the audience favorite at the MTWorks National Newborn Festival this past winter, and so she is delighted to be spearheading the production for MTWorks this summer.

**This Spring through Fall, Diánna will be working on, as either director or actress, staged readings of Kennedy's Children (directing) and Coyote On A Fence (acting), The Sign In Sidney Brustein's Window, Vieux Carré, and two other plays TBD, with various actors including those involved in the theatre companies she is affiliated with, as well as students of Martin Acting Studios. Projects will be produced in part through Martin Acting Studios and The In-Pulse Group.

**Diánna directed a reading of Cody Daigle's A Home Across the Ocean for MTWorks' Newborn Festival, which she directed for last year, winning the Audience Favorite. This year's festival of original works ran from January 20th - 24th, continuing it's tradition of discovering new and exciting works from outside of New York City. The play was so well-received that it has been selected for as a main-stage show for next year.

**Diánna recently directed Thomas Michael Cain's Where Art Lives for Oberon Theatre Ensemble's Fall Reading Series, with a cast made up of company members from Oberon Theatre Ensemble, MTWorks, and students of Martin Acting Studios. The four-week reading series, which included works by fabulous playwrights such as Duncan Pflaster and David Stallings, and directors such as Eric Parness, was another in Oberon's annual reading series to discover new original works, continuing the vitality of theatre in NYC.

Looking forward to what the Spring/Summer will bring - but taking it moment to moment.
