DISPOSOPHOBIA:
A 'Twilight Zone' Episode All Her Own
Before
starring in Clive Barker's 'Nightbreed' and 'Bioshock'...
Before
merging a 30-year acting career with her ever-expanding writing
career...
Anne was a Twilight Zone fan. For her, television was never better – more
thought-provoking, chilling, moving and timely -- than Rod Serling's
short-form allegorical masterpieces. They've never stopped inspiring her,
and for years Anne waited for the right time, the right project and the right story to put that inspiration to work. The time has come and "Disposophobia" will be the result. AND...
For as little as fifteen dollars - the price of a movie - you can take the journey with us and see it for yourself!

most familiar to the horror/scifi/fantasy world as Lori in Nightbreed and as the voice of Brigid Tenenbaum in the Bioshock series, Anne has worked extensively on and
off-Broadway, in film, television and commercials, games, audiobooks
and publishing, with some of the finest masters of their craft. Her Broadway and Off-Broadway credits include Tom Stoppard’s The
Real Thing with Jeremy Irons, Black
Comedy with Peter MacNichol and Kate Mulgrew and Alan Aykbourn’s
Communicating Doors, replacing Mary Louise Parker, as well as the long-running hit I Love You, You’re
Perfect, Now Change. Her
Television credits include Mad
About You,
Children of the Bride (and 2 sequels), Steven Bochco’s legendary experimental Cop
Rock as
well as lots of 'Law and Orders' that keep popping up late at
night. Her
films include Beautiful
Girls, the
Oscar-winning Born on the
4th of July,
the Indie classic Happiness and
The Pickup Artist (With
Robert Downey Jr). Anne has thousands of commercials and radio
plays to her credit and is the voice of dozens of audio books, radio
dramas, podcasts and games. She's also devoted over twenty
years to the cause of animal rescue, volunteering at shelters and her
local animal hospital. This work has resulted in her writing two
non-fiction works: Love Me
Or Leash Me and Best Friend For Life:
75 Simple Ways To Make Me a Happy, Healthy and Well Behaved Dog (Forwarded
by Neil Gaiman). She starred in the solo show That
Woman: Rebecca West Remembers, co-written with West’s great niece, which ran off Broadway and
toured Amsterdam and The Hague. She's just completed her second play,
and is
currently writing a miniseries based on her first novel, as well as

New Black, Barbara has also worked extensively in theatre both on
Broadway and in London's West End, as well as the Edinburgh Festival.
She is also one of the most sought after and beloved narrators in
this country and in the UK. Billboard magazine has said of her work
that she 'is spoken of with the same reverence and affection that
the music industry reserves for Frank Sinatra and the Beatles'. Her
extraordinary range and distinguished body of work (over 400 titles
to date) has earned her eight coveted Audie Awards from the Audio
Publishers Association. The Audies are the industry's Oscar and
Barbara has won more of them than any female narrator – making her,
according to one critic, “to audiobooks what Meryl Streep is to film."
