Anne is delighted to be returning to the stage in another brilliant Williamson play, and to be encountering Don's life once again. She last appeared on stage for Rep in Don's Party as Susan, a spirited "stripper" with a penchant for gin... and Don. Now tackling the unhinged home-wrecking redhead Roberta, Anne prays that her casting is in no way reflective of her actual personality.
Anne is most often a backstage creature, with a passion of costuming. She has been involved with a number of local productions and has a particular love of period clothing. Most recently, Anne was involved in Canberra Philo's 2013 production of Les Miserables. This iconic production involved the mammoth task of costuming a large ensemble in a range of items, totalling to around 300 costume pieces.
Anne's Canberra Rep costuming credits include Assistant Costume Designer for Lend Me a Tenor; and as Costume Designer for Arcadia and Room to Move. She also contributed to costumes for School for Scandal (2006), Elizabeth Rex (2007), 34th Old Time Music Hall and Pride and Prejudice. Before joining Rep, Anne was involved backstage as Assistant Costume Designer for Ursula Hall's (ANU) Dad and Dave and as "Costume and Prop finder" for their production of Competitive Tenderness.
Anne thanks Aarne for giving her the opportunity to bring a new Williamson character to life, and the cast for helping her find her inner diva. She would also like to sincerely thank her partner Nick, for giving her the strength and support to reach for the stars.

She became more involved in the Canberra theatre scene when a work colleague saw fit to introduce her to the folks at Canberra Rep. They (perhaps foolishly) let her loose in their wardrobe, and the obsession with theatre costuming began.
Anne was delighted to work with Canberra Philo for the first time in 2013, as Costume Designer for their production of Les Miserables.
