Tanna Frederick on Late Night

Tanna Frederick

On Wednesday November 9, 2011, 8pm-11pm/PST we are happy to welcome actress Tanna Frederick as our guest on Swoop’s World Late Night. After our Tanna we’ll be taking on all topics, and of course our regular Brewskis, sports, and any other news of the day segments. Tune in at Swoopsworld.com.

Tanna Frederick, currently starring as a dog in the title role in “Sylvia” at the Edgemar Center, is receiving accolades for her work. “Frederick is nothing short of terrific…Four paws up!” said Jose Ruiz of ReviewPlays.com of a recent performance.

Frederick can also be seen on the big screen also starring opposite Noah Wyle in Henry Jaglom’s romantic comedy “Queen of the Lot.” She stars as Maggie Chase, as actress desperate to claw her way off the B-list of action films into major movie stardom.

Betty Jo Tucker of ReelReviews.com says of the chemistry between Frederick and Wyle, “their ‘opposites attract’ banter reminds me of old-time movie couples like Tracy and Hepburn. And their onscreen chemistry is undeniable.” Frederick won Best Actress at the Wild Rose Independent Film Festival for her role.

Last year, Frederick starred in “Just 45 Minutes from Broadway” at the Edgemar. Suffused with a near-Chekhovian mix of the wistful and the melancholy, playwright Henry Jaglom’s world premiere comedy explored the complex emotional lives of theater folk. The play will be released as a feature film later this year starring Frederick and Judd Nelson.

Frederick’s performance in her first feature with Jaglom, “Hollywood Dreams,” earned her Best Actress kudos at the Montana International Film Festival and the Fargo Film Festival, and propelled the film to Best Picture honors at the San Luis Obispo Film Festival and to Best Comedy at WorldFest Houston. She was named Method Fest’s “Performer to Watch” and has also received the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival’s “Maverick” Award.

Off-screen, Frederick has proved just as driven and talented. A fitness aficionado who runs daily, Frederick recently ranked 52nd out of 1,321 women in her division in the LA Marathon in 2010. She is an expert at Tae Kwon Do and a passionate surfer. Ms. Frederick, along with famed surfer Shaun Tomson, founded “Project Save Our Surf,” an annual surfing event that benefits various ocean charities. The Fourth Annual PSOS: SURF 24 was held in Santa Monica this past October and benefited Heal the Bay. She is also founder of the Iowa Film Festival, which debuted successfully four years ago and has tripled in size.

After our interview with Tanna Frederick, we’ll be up to all of our usual fun including beer tasting, sports and food during “Brewskis” Beer Tasting sponsored by DrinksWinesSpirits.com, Taylor’s segment of T-Bones Timeout, and Chris’ CLiv’s Real Estate Report.

This week on “Brewskis” Beer Tasting sponsored by DrinksWinesSpirits, we are tasting Blowing Rock Ale From Boone Brewing Company located in Boone, NC.
