Adena is an actor, director, vocalist, designer and artistic collaborator. She believes theater should take your breath away and teach you something, or at the least, make you question your own values or beliefs. Comedy or drama can accomplish this equally as well. Focused primarily on directing and scenic design at the moment, Adena remains passionate about being on the stage as well, and hopes to continue performing as time allows.
