On Thursday, April 5, 2012, at 12pm/PST on Swoop’s World Primetime we’re happy to have actress Tanna Frederick return and will fill us in on all of her recent accolades and projects, including her new play “Why We Have A Body” which is her directorial debut. Swoop’s World Primetime is on from 12pm/PST – 1pm/PST tune in at Swoopsworld.com.

Tanna Frederick recently made her directorial debut with “Why We Have A Body” and portrays Mary. A critically praised audience favorite, Ms. Frederick recently concluded a record-breaking long run starring at Edgemar Center in the title role of A.R. Gurney’s “Sylvia” and, a year earlier, in Henry Jaglom’s “Just 45 Minutes From Broadway.” Her Edgemar debut, a year before that, was in Jaglom’s “Always….But Not Forever.” She previously appeared in Robey Theatre Company’s “For The Love Of Freedom: Toussaint” and, at the Skylight Theatre, in “A Safe Place.” Her extraordinary film career includes starring roles in “Hollywood Dreams,” “Irene in Time,” “Queen of the Lot” and the upcoming “Just 45 Minutes From Broadway,” opposite Judd Nelson, due for theatrical release this summer. She has just completed filming principal photography on “The M Word,” co-starring with Michael Imperioli and Corey Feldman. She is also the founder of Project Save Our Surf, as well as the prestigious Iowa Independent Film Festival.

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

Frederick can be seen on the big screen 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.
