Wendy Girard directed the West Coast Premiere of the award-winning play "Shades" for the Women in the Arts Festival of the Los Angeles Women's Theatre Project, starring Broadway actors Alix Korey, Christopher Pennock, Trina Parks, and Shepherd Sanders. The sold out audience gave the first performance a spontaneous and unanimous standing ovation.
Girard was co-starring opposite Jeff Bridges as Donna Baker in The Fabulous
Baker Boys as Beau Bridges wife, when she was the victim of an
extremely violent crime, off the set, and her role had to be cut from the
picture.
