Hello everyone,
My name is Huguette Anhalt I’ve written five scripts. One I had optioned five years ago for two years. ,,,, they decided not to go further. I cried. It was called NOBODY’S PERFECT. I found people who wanted to do a play with it…. just before covid hit. I didn’t cry. I almost felt relieved. I didn’t write for at least eight months and decided to get out of my emotional slump and went to work on a project I’ve been hemming and thawing for the last thirty years. A story about one of the first female barbers in the 60’s. Got lots of notes and a very very rough script. ( if you can call it that). I’ve been a photographer, actress, singer, dancer and mother. This script is like giving birth to a personality I just found out about. I can’t wait to get started and to know better who this character is.
I look forward to hearing from you and wish you the best.
