Mary Donnarumma Sharnick Will Bring 2ND ACT to the Palace

Mary Donnarumma Sharnick, currently an associate faculty English professor for Post University, has been a highly accomplished and beloved educator her whole career. But inside was always the writer yearning to tell stories and bring the written word to life in a different way. So, in 2012 her first novel, Thirst was published and is now being turned into an opera. Her latest, part of the intriguing quartet that began with, Orla's Canvas in 2015 followed. To those who know Mary, from an equally accomplished family with deep Waterbury roots, this isn't a surprise.
