Diandra Zach with the evil slave mistress Madame Dama of Amnexia played by Maries Rebucas
When Diandra got chosen to play the lead role in “Amnexia” one of the showcases of her PETA Summer Theatre workshop, I was thrilled! It was something I was praying for; I told her that if she, number one – built good relationships with the people in the workshop, number two – got really active in the exercises and number three – used criticim to improve herself, she might just nab the lead role. AND SHE DID!

IMHO, my daughter Diandra Zach ALREADY has the pretty face and the raw talent for acting but that’s just not good enough. You need good relationships with the people in the industry and you have to be constantly improving your craft through workshops, auditions and acting jobs.

A heart-broken Zen (Diandra Zach) contemplates on suicide...
Now in this particular acting job, Diandra plays the role of Zen – a rich girl from the planet Sulata who was dumped by her hunk of a boyfriend. After contemplating suicide, Zen makes a rebound when she meets Rusty online through interplanetary internet. Rusty is a call center agent on the slave planet of Amnexia.

On a lark, Zen flies off to Amnexia to see him in person only to find out that love life is banned on Amnexia by the slave mistress of the planet who controls all Amnexian call center agents with her whip and screeching voice. The god of the planet, Lord Gaia shows up to punish the lovers and he turns out to be Zen’s father.
Lord Gaia (who manifests himself as a shiny topless guy in rollerblades) lets Zen go but locks up Rusty. Zen figures out a way to break Rusty out of jail and together they take control of the planet and to save not just their love life but also the lives of all the enslaved call center agents on Amnexia.

Congratulations to my beautiful Diandra Zach and her workshop classmates for a successful presentation.
