For the next decade she was active on both coasts, performing in classics and writing and producing new work Off-Off Broadway and the Bay Area, portraying twins on As The World Turns and directing and developing plays in Chicago and St Paul. An invitation to teach acting and television writing for at a California university led to Los Angeles.
