She is formerly a member of the Honors Program Faculty at FSU, and has also taught at South Georgia State College, Tallahassee Community College, Princeton University, and Brandeis University. Her research focuses on the intersections between the American and British musical in London’s West End from 1920–1960, particularly Noël Coward, Kurt Weill, Lerner and Loewe, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and Rodgers and Hammerstein. She has a forthcoming monograph on the history of the musical from 1920–1970 at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane (Palgrave MacMillan).
The Noël Coward Foundation was set up as a charitable Trust in 2000 by Graham Payn and Dany Dasto. Its aim is to award grants to educational and development projects across the Arts and to continue the keen interest Coward himself took in charitable work during his lifetime. The Foundation is proud to support a diverse range of outstanding organizations working in theatre, music, dance, playwriting, technical training, academic research, and many other areas.
