She should have won the Tony for In the Heights. Her scenic design was so integral in creating the world of the show. Her work was always so dramaturgically informed and elevated the entire production.
Anna's wife Robyn Goodman was the longtime producer of Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, PA, and Anna essentially became the resident set designer there in all but name. Her most recent credit there was SOUTH PACIFIC just last month -- another beautiful design. She'll be missed.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
