She has directed many productions here, including The Diary of Anne Frank, The Drowsy Chaperone, Much Ado About Nothing, Romeo + Juliet, The Skin of Our Teeth, Pride and Prejudice (with Aaron Caleb), The Importance of Being Ernest, As It Is In Heaven, The Heiress, Two Rooms, The Miracle Worker, and Our Town.  In the fall of 2012, she was dramaturge and director for a devised piece of musical theatre, Picture This! Angela has directed original works commissioned for TWU by grads Krista Knutsen Marushy (The Ristretto Proposal) and Cara Lowdermilk (Bride on Credit). Both romantic comedies were fantastically funny and very successful, selling out every performance. Angela also directed an innovative production of Lucia Frangione's irreverent old testament musical Holy Mo & Spew Boy in which Follie, Buffoona, and Guff were played by different actors in the first and second acts.
