About Me

Jana Segal: My journey hasn't taken me where I expected when I completed my MFA in Dramatic Writing. After working on love projects like the award-winning script, “Model-T Biscuits” with my mom (Lorna Beall) and raising my two boys, I spent years building Tucson's independent film community and writing movie reviews to promote meaningful films. In the process, I watched a few environmental docs which led to the most important trek of my journey - embracing a sustainable desert lifestyle with my husband Dan. Inspired by a group of rainwater harvesting enthusiasts, we spent our weekends digging basins to capture the rain. We learned everything we could about sustainability and climate solutions, then shared that passion. After searching my heart, I've decided that the best way to reach people is through storytelling. I love telling environmental stories like “The Beaver Family” and “The Santa Cruz River Story." I directed, “No! (That Isn’t Recyclable)" and a virtual reading of my play, "ReGeneration: The Tucson Story." It is such a joy to get back to my first love of playwriting. I believe that we can all use our talents and passions to create a sustainable future.
