About Janet

Hi, I'm Janet. I combine many years of improv, acting and sketch experience with a career in corporate America to write real world, women centered stories about the absurdities of human behavior. I like to explore the topics that most people avoid at all costs: aging, death, grief, loss, change, telling the truth, personal responsibility, and being yourself in front of friends, family and co-workers. I find the fear and awkwardness wrapped up in doing the hard stuff both tragic and funny. I draw from study in psychology and history, tons of traveling, my immigrant experience, friends, family, co-workers, and time lived in rural and city settings to build rich characters who are finding their way in this crazy world. Right now, I am excited to pitch my 30-min single-camera dramedy: Leaving the Party.
