In 1995 she developed her first piece for young audiences, WHISKERS! which debuted at Young Performer's Theatre in San Francisco and went on to Galatean Players, enjoying holiday season run of 15 years at the Schoolhouse Theater and Lesher Center for Performing Arts in Walnut Creek, and yet another San Francisco run at the Children's Creativity Museum Theater in 2014.
Following quickly in its footsteps were KISS THE FROG (1997), and DREAMERS (2005 which later became JOSEPHINE AND THE SHEEP OF DREAMS, debuting in SF in 2015), and the development of the through composed, operatic SNOW QUEEN: SPLINTERS OF ICE (2013).
