Gutto’s essays on theatrical work, across borders and the art of translation and adaptation from one country to another, have been published in industry publications such as Stikkordet, the magazine of the Norwegian Actors' Equity Association, as well as Kunnskapsforlaget's book Ibsens kvinner (Ibsen's Women), for which Norway's former Minister of Culture Ellen Horn was editor. Her essays focus on the art of translation and adaptation beyond the linguistic challenges. Her essay from Ibsen's Women describes her intentions, process, and development of the adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's Rosmersholm for a contemporary American audience. Miss Gutto has also worked as translator/adaptor on plays such as Water by Sheila Callaghan, The Lover by Harold Pinter and Rosmersholm by Henrik Ibsen. For the latter she worked in collaboration with American playwright Bridgette Wimberly and Norwegian dramaturge Oda Radoor.

Gutto's plays include: Tid, Fidel's Island (co-created with Carl Morten Amundsen) and Pissing in the Wind. She is currently developing the new play IN SECURITY, where one can follow an accomplished doctor as she comes face-to-face with a choice that will affect the rest of her life. IN SECURITY is a comedic ripping view of a successful woman and her fear of commitment. It presents the insecurity at the core of human nature: the fear of losing oneself.

Gutto was co-artistic director of Oslo Elsewhere, a theater company she founded with Norwegian-American director Sarah Cameron Sunde in 2004, which is dedicated to the development of idiomatic translations and bridging the gap between contemporary Norwegian and American theater. After the run of the company's production of Night Sings Its Songs in 2004, Anna and Sarah were commissioned to create a performance for T.M. King Harald V and Queen Sonja of Norway for their New York visit in February 2005 entitled Variations on a Theme. This performance event was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary since the dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden. The performance was a celebration of this peaceful separation, mixed with the stories of Norwegian immigrants to the US and performances of Norwegian artists living in New York.

Gutto's next project with Oslo Elsewhere was IBSEN+FOSSE2006, a double bill presentation of Henrik Ibsen's Rosmersholm alongside Jon Fosse's deathvariations at 59E59 Theaters in New York City the summer of 2006. Gutto and Sunde recently travelled to Nationaltheatret in Oslo together with director Timothy Douglas to conduct translation/adaptation workshop readings of both plays with actors at Nationaltheatret as well as Earle Hyman. Oslo Elsewhere last production of Jon Fosse was Sa Ka La, which premiered in New York in the fall of 2008.

The Unbound Collective (formerly known as The Unbound Theatre) is a New York-based theatre company where Miss Gutto was co-artistic director together with Stephanie Davis. Their work ranged from remounting Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas and The Workroom by Jean-Claude Grumberg to creating their own work. Their first production was Pissing in the Wind, which Anna Gutto created and performed in alongside another founding member, Josh Bloch. Pissing in the Wind was presented at the New York International Fringe Festival 2002.

Gutto won the Zaki Gordon Memorial Award for Excellence in Screenwriting for her feature screenplay "Paradise Highway" (aka Leila M.).

She also received a travel grant in 1999, while working at "Teatret Vårt" in Molde, and received the 2007 Cultural Award from American Scandinavian Society. While working at "Teatret Vårt" she was also a part of Kunstnerisk Råd (Council for Artistic Decision) at the theatre.
