Ana is also a writer and has workshopped her
original one-woman show, God Box, at the Whitefire
Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Originally directed
by Richard Kline (“Larry” on “Three’s Company”), and
currently being directed by Robert Barker, God Box is
Ana “Guigui’s” (that's “gui” as in “gui-tar”)
autobiographical musical dramedy in one act set in the
piano lounge at the Doubletree Hotel on Wilshire
Boulevard. She tells and sings of her co-dependent
Argentinean Jewish family life, her professional musical
career, and her soul mate journey. Ana will be
performing a six-week run of God Box at the Actors Forum
Theatre in North Hollywood every weekend from July 10
through August 16 of 2009.
Ana is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in
Opera/Voice Performance at Claremont Graduate
University, and teaches “commercial voice” at
Cal/Polytechnic University/Pomona. She also teaches
Musical Theater at the Lee Strasberg Institute in
Hollywood.
Ana was born in New York City to Argentinean
parents, hence a native bilingual in Spanish and
English. She hails from a family of music professionals
- her father, Efrain Guigui was an accomplished symphony
orchestra conductor, her mother is a former operatic
soprano, and her brother, Martin, is a musician in his
own rite, music producer, screenwriter and independent
feature film director also living in Los Angeles. |
