Jena Balzano
as Velma Kelly
The past four years have truly defined the foundation of Jena’s artistry, and have also proved her undying love for Theatre. To Ms. B, Mr. Robson, and Carissa: you have left an everlasting effect on her character. She could never thank you enough. It has been a deep privilege to perform in an environment such as this and she could not be more proud to be surrounded by the people she loves most and to tell the stories that matter. Support the arts!!! Jena has most recently been in Radium Girls (Grace Fryer), The 5-Day Play Challenge, The Addams Family (Wednesday), Mean Girls (Cady Heron), and Clue (Mrs. Peacock). This one’s for the Babes of Jazz.
