Fun Fact: I love Twin Peaks so much, my dog's name is Dale Cooper. Would love to work with David Lynch.
You didn't think I would say this without posting a picture of Dale, right?
Hey, y'all! My name is Anna Faye Lieberman, and I am a scrappy, orange, theatre artist bopping between NYC and Philly. Passionate about the development of new works and the subversion of classics, I'm a grounded storyteller with deep roots, who helps shape characters with my expansive, wacky imagination and love for deep investigation of the human experience. I'm queer, got a little grit in my bones, and I'm not afraid to get dirty.
Loves: new musicals, playing animals, clowning, devising, cowboys, writing, solo work, accents, community, radical joy, radical transparency, pets, physical comedy, rolling on the floor, cheese, castelvetrano olives, giving compliments, dusting off plays, gender exploration

The Playboy of The Western World
a new adaptation
by Bisi Adigun and Roddy Doyle
Inis Nua Theatre
Directed by KC MacMillan
I'll be playing Honor!
Sept. 19th-Oct. 13th
Almost 120 years after J.M. Synge’s blistering masterpiece The Playboy of the Western World shocked audiences, Inis Nua—Philadelphia’s home for contemporary Irish plays—opens our 21st season with a bold adaptation by Nigerian playwright Bisi Adigun and Irish writing icon Roddy Doyle (The Commitments, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha). Set in modern Dublin, we reimagine Synge’s young rascal-hero Christy Mahon as Nigerian refugee Christopher Malomo, who arrives at a run-down pub with a wild tale he hopes will save his life. Christopher’s hilarious–and ultimately dangerous–encounters with colorful Dubliners showcase the power of Synge’s classic through a razor-sharp modern lens.
