TESTIMONIALS

On Alana as a director "Equally impressive is her ability to draw out the best from a cast of varying experience levels. Rather than smoothing over differences, she leans into the unique strengths of each performer. "

Rob Caisley, Playwright

University of Idaho Chair

"Alana creates a supportive environment that makes her students feel safe to take risks and challenge themselves. Through her patience and dedication, she helped me to become a more confident auditioner, and a more present and grounded actor."

Truly Siskind-Weiss, NYC actor/playwright, Bristol Old Vic Masters

“Alana has been coaching my daughter since her very first audition at four years old. Since then Alana has helped her with voice, acting, dialect work, audition and self tape prep.  Through Alana’s coaching, she has landed roles like Matilda, Jojo in Seussical, Annie and more. Alana is great with kids and knows how to approach them in a fun way while also giving very specific helpful notes, encouraging them to be their best. My daughter has learned so much from Alana and she loves working with her.”
