| Lorianne began writing stories before she could pick up a pen. Her first taste of acting in front of an audience came at nine, and then she was hooked. At nineteen, she taught herself to write screen plays and took the initiative of turning This Present Darkness into one and submitting it to Frank Peretti, the author. He encouraged to her contact Howard Kazanjian (producer of The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark), and Mr. Kazanjian further encouraged her to continue her pursuit of writing, so at twenty-one, she packed her mother and cat into the car and headed west. She took plenty of acting lessons and marketing classes while supporting herself working in commercial production, web design, and consumer products for The Walt Disney Company, wrote several plays and screenplays. After having one of her plays produced for a two week run to standing room only audiences, she decided she'd had enough of the Hollywood machine and went back East to concentrate on a degree in English Literature at the University of Virginia. Love took her all the way Down Under where she had many more adventures before convincing her husband that it was time to return to Virginia. She is delighted to serve Theater Shenandoah and continue the great tradition of story telling that aids in passing culture from one generation to the next. | |
