CONCERTO FOR ABIGAIL
A world renowned pianist faces the devastating the news that she has progressive hearing loss and ultimate total deafness facing her just as love walks into her life. The fear of the coming sounds of silence consume her days and nights. One day soon she will never hear a note, a voice or the applause. Should she fight to continue to perform and one day compose the concerto she has always wanted to write? Or should she give up and try to accept that her world will soon be silent?

Her work in the play “A Postcard from L.A.” led the trade paper “Backstage” to call her performance “delightful . . . equal parts sultry siren and irritating vixen”. She has also appeared in over 40 nationally televised commercials, for such products as Coors Light beer (which aired during the Super Bowl), Honda, DirecTV, Nike, AT&T, Cadillac, Electrolux, Taco Bell, Pantene, Bud Light beer and The Gap clothing stores.
