That same year Hansen was commissioned by Teater Vastmanland to write a tribute to Pippi Longstocking and her creator, Astrid Lindgren, for the 100th anniversary of Ms. Lindgren's birth.  The show, Letters From a Window in the Sky, features one woman and a mechanical duck and toured New York State schools in 2009.  The audiobook of Letters was a finalist for The Benjamin Franklin Award for best children's audiobook in 2010.  Her play Hollowville: A Ghost Story, based on true events, was read at the Saratoga Arts Center, recorded as an audiobook, and nominated for two 2008 Audie Awards.  She is a member of Actor's Equity Association, New York Women in Film & Televsion, The League of Professional Theatre Women, and the Dramatists Guild of America.  Hansen's play, A Legend of Sleepy Hollow, received its first production at the New York State Theatre Institute in 2009 with funding from the Frederick Loewe Foundation and The Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial Commission. Her poetry was featured in Zephyrs, the 2011 publication of the Edna St. Vincent Millay Society. She wrote the screenplay for the feature film, The Thing on the Doorstep. She is also the program administrator for the Young Playwrights Workshop at The Creative Place International, an arts organization of which she is co-founder.  Mary is proud to be represented by Susan Schulman, A Literary Agency.
