Vanessa David '95
From the review of Boy Wonder - A new play / Arden Anderson Broecking, in the Norwalk Citizen Online: "The first act takes place in his office, where he argues with clients and succumbs to his secretary, Dolores, not for the first time. She was played by Vanessa Davis[d], who brought a sexiness to her role and did a really good telephone drunk scene. Prior to that, Bill Finch, a frustrated producer of "theatre art," manages to shake poor O'Banion up even more, but later becomes a rescuer (sort of)."

Vanessa writes, "This October I will be teaching Dinner Party classes in Trumbull and Ridgefield, CT. I'll also be teaching a Ten-Minute Playwriting class in Ridgefield.
The Dinner Party classes will not be a cooking class, it's a planning class. Learn how to create and execute one-of-a-kind menus that your friends will be talking about for years to come. Students will learn how to create a meal around a theme and with the tools they already have in their kitchens. You don't need to be a chef, you just need to have a plan!
And the Ten-Minute Playwriting class will explore the form and students will have the opportunity to write their own plays and share their work with the class."
