Alena Rose

Alena Rose (she/her) was raised in Beaverdam, Virginia, where she found the importance of entertainment and how it impacts our social climate and personalities. She believes that her purpose, vigor and enthusiasm as an actor was formed by the lack of representation of plus sized bodies she saw in the industry growing up, therefore she uses this drive to advocate for such representation through the art she creates as well as bring theater back to its art of imagination and power it has to change the world. When not acting, Alena can be found singing, modeling, sewing, designing her own clothes, and continuing plus size advocation on her socials. Her Rutgers Theater Credits include: Macbeth in Macbeth, Barbarina in The Little
Green Birdie and Adrianna in Comedie of Errors.

I add my own love to the history of people who have loved beautiful things, and looked out for them, and pulled them from the fire, and sought them when they were lost, and save them while passing them along literally from hand to hand, singing out brilliantly from the wreck of time to the next generations of lovers, and the next.

Donna Tartt

Anik (she/her/hers) is a proud representative of Ketchum, Idaho. A surprising haven for the arts, Ketchum provided the opportunity to study with some of the finest actors that she has met at The Spot Theatre. Anik is committed to bringing complex characters alive and has a deep love of Shakespeare. She recently nurtured this love as Malvolio in Twelfth Night at Shakespeare’s Globe. Raised in the mountains, she grew to be a lifelong learner and an enthusiastic outdoorsman. Offstage, she can be found in the river, writing, playing pond hockey, reading compelling fiction, playing her guitar, and fangirling over her dog Hap.  Recent theater credits include Queen Isabeau in Joan of Arc, Juror #3 in Twelve Angry Jurors, and Sherri in American Hero.

My comfort zone is like a little bubble around me and I pushed it in different directions and made it bigger and bigger until these objectives that seem totally crazy eventually fall within the realm of the possible

Alex Honnold

For Rory Grace Wagner (she/her), home is a relative thing.  She discovered life outside of the familiar surroundings of Beverly Hills, Michigan when at the age of 6, she moved to Shanghai, China and thus discovered her passion for performance and adventure.  Her love of characters began in middle school with the roles of Mungo, Scarecrow, and Eliza Doolittle.  While producing iMovie trailers about Hubba Bubba Gum and Polly Pockets, her enthusiasm for filmmaking began to emerge.  A born performer, Rory began to develop her career at the Shanghai American School with a faculty of accomplished performers from around the world.  Returning to the United States, Rory joined a nationally recognized college preparatory school known for their performing arts faculty and facilities.  She continued to grow her love for all facets of the arts not only through a variety of performances but also student directing and student filmmaking. She worked on 48-hour film projects during the summers and spent weeks at performing arts camps such as the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario, Canada.  Rory honed her craft in London, England as she prepared for the role of Viola in Twelfth Night.  She possesses an inclination to travel the world and explore…adventure and curiosity is her middle name.  Rory cannot wait to bring joy to the world through her creative and artistic endeavors.

Isabella Maria Valdés

My weapon has always been language, and I’ve always used it, but it has changed. Instead of shaping the words like knives now, I think they’re flowers, or bridges.

Sandra Cisneros

Isabella Maria Valdés (she/they) is a Cuban American and Puerto Rican artist from the tropical paradise that is the 305 (Miami, Florida). Growing up, Isabella spent a lot of time being an active member in community arts, most of which spent in her church choir. She owes a big part of her artistic journey to that same community. The music director, with the help of his husband, would run every choir rehearsal bringing forth forward thinking material. Not every church lets a 10 year old sing Lady Gaga- especially Born This Way. The biggest insight those two men gave to her was that the privilege to have all eyes on her is when she must speak truth to power. Isabella hopes to work with artists like Melinda Lopez, Alexis Scheer, and J. Sebastián Alberdi, to create and be part of work that gives back to her community; stories that intersect queerness, feminism and latinidad.

Our highest power is love, and it is one thing each of us has an unlimited amount of.

Rhonda Byrne

Ryann Myers (she/her/hers) is a born and raised Jersey girl who enjoys spending her time outdoors hiking, biking, dancing, and doing yoga. Ryann’s curiosity for acting sparked at age six and has only grown exponentially since. As a young black woman growing up in a predominantly white community Ryann struggled to find her own voice. Constantly placing herself on stage taught her that there should never be any shame in the full expression of yourself. And that no matter how important, or insignificant, or beautiful, or ugly you feel, it should never be hidden. It should be learned from, shared and celebrated. Ryann enjoys mentoring and teaching younger students how to be the fullest versions of themselves on stage. Some of her most notable roles include Joan in Joan of Arc, Miranda in The Busy Body; Olivia in Twelfth Night; Mille Davis in Trouble in Mind, and Hermes in When Silence Falls.

If you don’t tell or show it, it’s erased—it was so great, and it will be like it never
happened.

Michaela Coel

Born and raised in New York City, Zoé Girod is the daughter of French/Swiss parents and grew up bilingual in French and English. Her passion for acting emerged in her early teens through school performances and training with The Arts Effect Theater. She received the Best Female Actress Award as Eve in Et Dieu Créa la Femme at LFNY’s Première Scène Theatre Festival. Academically driven, Zoé considered numerous paths—physics being one of them—but her drama training at LaGuardia High School set her on an unstoppable trajectory: she would be an actor. She chose Rutgers to pursue her BFA in acting, drawn to its Meisner training and its conservatory at Shakespeare’s Globe in London. A gifted visual artist and a lover of dance, Zoé writes, shoots, and edits films. Throughout COVID-19, she worked as the editor for The Peace Studio, a foundation promoting peace through the arts.

Sage Ftacek

Sage Ftacek grew up sledding and throwing snowballs around Minnesota. Acting was the first interest that he couldn’t manage to get bored of, and therefore he couldn’t shake it off of him. In between taking the 860 express bus to the city for acting class and rehearsing student lead productions in the evening, he fell into the skateboarding and graffiti scene of Minneapolis. Unable to stop himself from acquiring one new hobby after the next, Sage could still never find an interest to overtake acting and no-budget filmmaking, and accepted that it has landed as a “must-have” requirement for the rest of his life. It is a beautiful world, and it’s a privilege to tell any story that it contains.
