She spent the next few years after “Annie” in limbo, as she was contracted to appear in a number of “Annie” sequels that ultimately failed to go into production. She shifted her focus to academic study, and graduated from Drew University. She then returned to acting, appearing in the Broadway National Tours of “Fiddler On the Roof”, “Peter Pan”, and “Saturday Night Fever”, as well as in various regional productions. She also appeared in multiple classical theater productions while studying at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. She continues to act, and also performs with an L.A.-based rockabilly band called, “The Leapin’ Lizards”.
