She has strong and humorous memories of the times at the old "theater" area. "We performed in the dirt and dust and had a ball," she recalls. "I always had the notion to direct and was given the chance in 2001," says the multi-talented Allen. The Uintah Arts Council and Ron Litton gave her the chance to direct "South Pacific" (2001) in which she also played '"Bloody Mary "; "Annie Get Your Cun" (2002); "Oklahoma" (2003); and this year's production of "The Wild Bunch."

She is also a frequent performer Unlike several directors of past productions, Allen sas her primarily primar-ily volunteer casts "have a life" and she cuts practices off at 10:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. 1 ler casts frequently include men, women and children from across the Uintah Basin. Also a cancer survivor, Allen is involved in the v early Relay for Life. Diagnosed with thyroid cancer can-cer several years ago. she required throat surgery to remove the affected affect-ed tissue. After singing the aria from "Madam Butterfly" to a terminal ter-minal patient at the hospital, and asking her surgeon to allow God to guide his hands, she entered the surgery which could have ended her singing abilities. Those who hear her today as she sings to the treetops know that no damage occurred to her magnificent voice. "My dream is to sing for a Presidential inauguration and I love to sing the National Anthem at different dif-ferent functions." says this voice teacher. She teaches voice in her "spare time" usually during the school year. Her son. Denson Angulo, is at Brigham Young University Idaho teaching jazz band. Her daughter daugh-ter Vanessa Angulo Chamberlain is attending college with an eye toward a dermatological medical career.
