Below is a resume reflecting my experience as a performer encompassing opera, theater, film and Argentine tango dancing. Reviews are listed below the credits.

Our current Argentine tango business, Dance of the Heart, has expanded to serve Argentine tango dance aficionados not only in the USA, but in Europe and Buenos Aires, Argentina. My partner Brian Dunn and I have been full time performers, instructors, directors and producers of tango training programs and performances for the past decade.

Reviews 

Don Scribner as Joe - Deborah Sclar as Fran

Nominee for Best Actress as Fran Walker in The Only Game in Town  

 

1996 Artistic Director Achievement Awards, Hollywood, CA 

"Committed acting...powerful piece of theatre. Deborah Sclar captivates as Fran...fiercely determined to live life on her own terms...she portrays the showgirl with absolute conviction, making us feel the heat of passion and the pang of heartbreak...by the final minutes, we’re reaching for our hankies."  Daryl H. Miller, Daily News, Los Angeles, California 

"Two superb actors, Sclar and Scribner, work exceptionally well off each other....all add up to a wonderful rich production...top-notch."  Gerri Garner, Kaleidoscope Radio Magazine, Los Angeles County

"Game has attracted talented actors who give it sheen...Sclar is refreshingly unactorish..."  Madeleine Shaner, ShowCase Entertainment Magazine

"Superb performances (delivered by Sclar and Scribner)...sparks flashing between them in the love scenes as well as the arguments...when those two are together—yow!—they heat up the stage. Turn on the air conditioner!"  Daryl H. Miller, Daily News, Los Angeles, California


Nominee for Best Supporting Actress as Henriette in Monique

 

1995 Artistic Director Achievement Awards, Hollywood, CA 

Deborah Sclar as Henriette -  Larry Lederman as Andre

"Everyone hates the ‘sour spouse,’ Lucienne, and has a motive to rub her out, including the maid (Deborah Sclar)—but some of the support is keener than the leads: the impassioned Moss and the ditsy Sclar..."  Robert Koehler, Los Angeles Times

"...offering comic relief to the mystery, Sclar (as Henriette) and Lederman (as the brother-in-law) created memorable characters." Pat Taylor, Valley Life, Los Angeles, California
