About Me


"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts" Shakespeare, As You Like It (Act II, Scene VII).Anna Brooke loves theatre and music, and in her lifetime, so far, she has been a dancer, an actor, a drama student, a piano & guitar player, community volunteer, and a People to People ambassador to China.Anna Brooke's main ambition is to be a singer, mostly of the country genre. Her repertoire includes songs by artists Sara Evans, Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Natalie Maines, Shania Twain, Alison Krauss, LeAnn Rhimes, and Christina Aguilera. Anna Brooke also performs Italian opera and Broadway-style music. She prefers performing arts, but is also interested in writing and traveling and possibly becoming a scientist or university professor, or a country music or Broadway performer.Anna Brooke is close to her family and friends, and loves meeting new people. She has always been optimistic and friendly, enjoying life to a maximum with the gratification and pleasure of music.
