Inspired by an idea of three long-time improv pals David Brezniak, Jane Ranallo Goodman, and Alaina, "Crankey Village, NM," was written by Zachary. A narcissistic widow craving an east coast lifestyle is held back by the wacky, multi-cultural residents, family, and staff of a retirement community in New Mexico.
The first season of "Crankey Village, N.M." has been structured for 10, half-hour episodes and the format allows for an easy binge-watching session which is hugely popular today.
Zachary has had an impressive performance career, earning a BFA from Boston University. Three Broadway original musicals: Grease, Nine, and Baby. A member of the famed Cambridge-based improv troupe, The Proposition. Scores of commercials and over 100 theatre roles.
She studied at the Mannes College of Music, sang with the Saratoga Opera, was a founding member of the Hudson Opera Theatre, and won an impressive grant to record the lost songs of French composer, Cecile Chaminade. The CD is "Mon Coeur Chante!"
Zachary relocated to Santa Fe in 2008 and joined the faculty of the Santa Fe University of Art and Design teaching musical theatre. She now resides in Albuquerque. Recent TV appearances include Roswell, Better Call Saul, Night Shift, and Graves. Films are Wander, Half Brothers, The Short History of the Long Road. Her feature screenplay, These Broken Wings took top honors in the Tale Writers NM screenwriting competition and now she brings her tremendous energy to Crankey Village, N.M., an episodic, comic homage to New Mexico.
