Jackson, she wrote the music and co-wrote the book for the Drama Desk Award and Lucille Lortel-nominated musical, Teeth, which Vulture hailed as a “bloody, bawdy musical with banging songs.” It ran off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons and New World Stages, and an original cast recording has been released on Yellow Sound Label. Anna’s stage adaptation of Moana is in residence at the Walt Disney Theatre onboard the Disney Treasure. Her other musicals include Pop! (Yale Rep, Pittsburgh City Theatre, Studio Theatre; CT Critics Circle Award, Best Production of a Musical), Anytown (George Street Playhouse), Harmony, Kansas (Diversionary Theatre; Craig Noel Award nomination, Outstanding New Musical and Outstanding New Score), and Witnesses (California Center for the Arts; Craig Noel Award, Outstanding New Musical). In collaboration with playwright Anna Ziegler, she is also writing A House Without Windows, a musical about the life and disappearance of child prodigy author Barbara Newhall Follett. Anna has taught musical theater writing through institutions such as Princeton University, the New School, Temple University, the New York Youth Symphony, and the Johnny Mercer Foundation. She received her MFA in Musical Theater Writing from NYU-Tisch. Originally from Sydney, Australia, she has called Brooklyn home since 2006.
