Testimonials
I can’t say enough good things about Alana’s talent as a playwright. For many years I taught playwriting in The Department of Dramatic Writing at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. I have read the work of many emerging playwrights and have encountered only a few with the talent of Alana.

She never settles for the adequate or acceptable, but strives to improve each piece, constantly learning and growing as a writer. She combines the skills she acquired in academia with her professional studies and life experience to create plays that are unique and dynamic.

Her plays BEGINNER AT LIFE and FEAR AND DESIRE show both skill and courage in their subjects and execution. She beautifully expresses her experience as a woman who lives out her spiritual and poetic natures as she experiences her everyday world.
