Diana featured in world premiere of Award winning playwrights work

4GIVENESS: In a Family Way
Four new short plays 
By award winning playwright
 Susan Jackson

A good ol' Southern soap opera, where everyone is related by blood or marriage, where dogs rule, the Sonic Drive-In is the place to be----and where forgiveness can be found.

Diana appears as Nandy in the comedic two-handed short
ROCKETS RED GLARE part one

Diana also appears as Jenny in Jackson's EYE TOOTH

Revenge might be behind Jenny's serendipitous visit to a Diner; but who will be the victim of her anger; the waitress, the vegan, or the ex?

Directed by Ann Thomas
