"The Cougar Cabaret" is a comic musical exploration
reflecting what's happening today in the world of relationships
(ie Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, etc.). Donna uses her experiences
as a child performer on the popular children's TV series "Zoom,"
her life as a single mother, and the embracement of her inner cougar
to tell of her 'spiritual awakening.' Original music by Mark Barkan
compliments lyrics by Ms. Moore.
Donna Moore has previously written two successful
shows, The Balancing Act and The unBalancing Act, both of which
had a long term home at DON'T TELL MAMA. The Cougar Cabaret is her
third foray into the world of dramaturgy. She takes pride in writing
material that is truthful, funny and inspiring to the human spirit.
A graduate of NYU Drama School, Tisch School of the Arts, Donna
began her career as a child actor on the PBS television show, ZOOM.
Her credits span theatre, television, stand up and commercials.
She is a founding member of the Turn Left comedy troupe.
