Wendy Cohen directs, acts, sings opera and show tunes, choreographs, and "has done way too much puppetry." She's written and directed five children's plays and twelve puppet shows, as well as writing the music and lyrics. Most recently, she started the Metropolitan Community Theater in November 2004, which is an outreach ministry of the Metropolitan Community Church. Last year she produced four plays and directed "Last Summer at Blue Fish Cove", "Oleanna" and "Agnes of God."  She was nominated by the Desert Theater League for Best Director for "Blue Fish" and "Agnes", and three of the shows she produced have been nominated for Best Overall Production. Her last acting gig was playing the role of Sissy in "Sordid Lives" at the Palm Canyon Theater last year. After "Tijuana Lady", she's looking forward to directing "Corpus Christi" by Terrence McNalley - opening in February, followed by "Gertrude Stein and a Companion" in the spring.
