PROOF OF EMPLOYMENT! about Hi, I'm Zayna! I was born in Jordan but was raised in the US! I am incredibly grateful for my family, who have built me up and supported my crazy passion for this art the entire way! Growing up in Erie, Pennsylvania, I got bit by the theatre bug early and quickly took to the stage at the Erie Playhouse, where my love for theatre truly began. My stage debut was at age 5 as (Pirate #7) in How I Became a Pirate Jr and I still haven't been able to outdo that performance (and I've tried... see below for proof.) I have recently discovered an excitement for New Work! Some that I have been working on recently include; The Morris and Essex Line (Aurora,) Book and Lyrics by Ryan Cunningham, Music by Joshua Salzman, Centralia (Teresa,) Book and Lyrics by Adam Chanler-Berat, Music by Julian Hornik, and an upcoming project titled Wild Child (Roses,) Book and Lyrics by Book and lyrics by Dan Marshall, Music by Julianne Wick Davis. I will forever be grateful for and proud of my education. The four years that I have spent at Penn State studying Musical Theatre will always hold a special place in my heart. WE ARE! When I'm not doing theatre, you can find me reading on my kindle, playing video games on my Steam Deck, or waiting in line for a rollercoaster! I’m also a massive coconut water devotee, Vita Coco ... if you're seeing this, email me... I'm such a fan.
