A Little Something About Me...

Picture
Sheena hails from Cold Spring, Minnesota.  She attended St. Cloud State University where she completed a degree in Theater and Mass Communications and graduated in December 2007.  She made her way to the Twin Cities in June 2008 when she began working at CLIMB Theatre in Inver Grove Heights, MN as an actor, teaching artist, road manager and administrative assistant.  Through CLIMB, she also became the 2009 Twin Cities Unified Theatre Auditions Coordinator. 
She has since participated in a year-long performing apprenticeship at the Tony Award-winning Children's Theatre Company in Minneapolis where she appeared in the 09-10 season's Cinderella, Iron Ring and Mulan.  
Her past theater credits include Flower Drum Song with Mu Performing Arts at the Ordway, Into the Woods, Cloud Nine (Irene Ryan-nominated for both), The Last Five Years, Songs for a New World, and Waiting for Godot.     
Sheena's next endeavor will be performing in Bloomington Civic Theatre's Into the Woods as one of the Stepsisters and following that, a production of Little Shop of Horrors with Mu Performing Arts at the Ritz Theater playing Audrey II, the Plant.    
Outside the theater, Sheena is represented by Moore Creative Talent, sings back-up vocals for a 10-piece Motown/Soul band called The Robinson Caruso Organization (http://on.fb.me/gXNzyL ), and also often performs as a wedding vocalist  (www.sheenaandmax.weebly.com ).
