She is also the recipient of an outstanding contribution award from the Screen Actors Guild for her work as coordinator of the SAG Conservatory of the American Film Institute.
An academic as well as a playwright, McAdoo is currently a faculty member at Murray State University. She has presented at national conferences and her essay and nonfiction writing has recently appeared in The Dramatist - The Journal of the Dramatists Guild of America as part of their 2015 Season in Review.
