Vancouver-based writer and actor, born in Calgary Alberta . She worked with Chemainus Theatre on Vancouver island from its founding in 1993 to 1999 as an actor, artistic director (1995), and writer of seven plays. Since then she has been closely associated with Vancouver's Pacific Theatre, whose mandate is the non-propagandist exploration of Christian issues. There she produced a trilogy of irreverent comedies: Holy Mo, 1999, dir. Morris Ertman ; Cariboo Magi, 2001, dir. Diane Brown; Espresso, 2003, dir. Morris Ertman.

Winner of both the Gordon Armstrong (Holy Mo) and Sydney Risk (Cariboo Magi) playwriting awards, Frangione is considered one of BC's most promising writers. Critic Colin Thomas called Espresso "one of the best scripts ever produced by a Vancouver playwright." She is also a Jessie Richardson Awards -nominated actor, and was artist in residence with Vancouver's Ruby Slippers company in 2003.
