About Shaina

Shaina is a multidisciplinary artist who was greatly influenced by Shelley Duvall’s Faerie Tale Theatre. She was trained in musical theatre performance as well as improvisational comedy in NYC. You can see her performing all over DFW with her musical improv troupe: Totally Made-up Musical. She is obsessed with the idea of expanding the way we experience theatre and the magical catharsis that can happen when people are given permission to play.
