Catherine Schreiber launched her career as an actor, before branching into writing and producing. Wearing these different hats is the joy of "being creative," she asserts. Schreiber insists she never turned to writing to create roles for herself or thought of her scripts as steppingstones to other goals. "Desperate Writers," which she co-wrote with Joshua Grenrock, is a case in point. Now playing Off-Broadway at the Union Square Theatre, the show began life as a film script. When it failed to make it to the screen, Schreiber turned it into a stage play, producing it first in Los Angeles before setting up shop in New York. She also gave herself a role, admitting it would be delightful if the play now found its way to becoming a movie in which she'd co-star, but it's just fine if that doesn't happen, she says. After all, she's having so much fun right.

On paper, Catherine Schreiber has attained success, both as a writer and as an actor, since leaving her home town of Great Neck, New York. "I have had an adventure-filled career," Schreiber admits. "But there have also been some frustrating mis-adventures along the way." With writing partner Joshua Grenrock, Schreiber has chronicled many of these jaundiced milestones in the stage play, Desperate Writers: The Final Draft, starring Brian Krause (Charmed) and British actress Kate Hollinshead (Emerdale).
