She has been seen in Off-Broadway and at the NYFringe Festival, NYMF New York Musical Theatre Festival, Apollo Theatre with George Faison’s If This Hat Could Talk nat’l tour, FDCAC/Classical Theatre of Harlem, University Club, the Studio @ Theatre Row, Workshop Theatre, & the Laurie Beechman in Times Square. Dana has worked regionally for Actors Theatre of Louisville & the Cleveland Play House, Virginia Stage, Walnut Street Theatre, Arden Theatre, Barrington Stage, Mercury Theatre Company,  and Virginia Musical Theatre. Dana is a strong advocate for the development of new musicals, and has been involved with countless presentations at New Dramatists, Below 54, NYMF, NYU’s Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program, & Dramatists Guild. She helms Big Thunder Productions, which created & produced a bi-coastal gender parity concert that connected her to the viral gender inequality spoof-video, #MakeItFair, singing alongside Rita Wilson. Up next: readings for new musicals Medusa and continuing development of her own solo-show!  See more on YouTube or visit http://www.DanaAber.com.
