"Anna Hogan's direction helps to make the distinctions between the painful past, the challenging present, and the intermediate states that the drugging has induced. It's a fabulous, open-hearted ride that fans of Terry Gilliam will surely enjoy." Ed Malin, Theatre Is Easy (For Friendly's Fire)
Anna Hogan (Associate Artistic Director) is a theatrical director and actress based in New York City. Anna's passion lies in developing new work, working closely with playwrights, and creating accessible live theatre for modern audiences.
Her directing experience spans large ensemble musicals like Urinetown: The Musical (Duke's Eye Productions, The Peoples Improv Theater), avante-garde new works that dabble in magical realism like Friendly's Fire (NYC Premiere, Rising Sun Performance Company with the Theatre at the 14 St Y), and intimate, semi-immersive ensemble pieces like Éléphant (Co-Director, Rising Sun Performance Company, “Outstanding Direction” Winners, The Flamboyán Theater, Encore at the Kraine Theater).
Anna has assistant directed over 40 union/non union productions with many established NYC directors - including her most recent endeavour with Obie winning playwright and Oscar Nominee José Rivera on his World Premiere of Lovesong, Imperfect.
Anna received a BA in musical theater from West Texas A&M University. She continued her acting education under the mentorship of The Juilliard School of Drama alumnus Joseph Muzikar with an emphasis on classical texts and styles. As Cassie Flowers in the NYC premiere of The Long Rail North, Anna was reviewed as "... A beautiful powerhouse of whom the grey and blue are unworthy"- Theatre is Easy. This production received an extension and transferred Off-Broadway to The Soho Playhouse.
Anna also received a nomination for "Best Lead Actress" from the Nice International Film Festival for her work in My Name is Leigh.
As a producer & arts administrator, Anna interned under the administrative director of The League of Professional Theater Women and assisted on their Oral History Project at Lincoln Center and the Theater Women Awards. Currently, Anna serves as the associate artistic director of Rising Sun Performance Company, a pillar of the NYC indie theater community for the last 19 years.
