Jenna Hansen - A Zenon winner in her second play By: Roy Riedy |
Jenna Hansen's name appeared for the first time in the HLT Newsletter for June, 2001 when she was announced as being selected as one of Shark girls in an article by the director of the upcoming musical West Side Story, Tammie Pollard. By the time the program for West Side Story had been printed, Jenna was photographed as a member of the rival gang the Jets, but still listed as a Shark. Perhaps, if more members of this variation on the Romeo and Juliet story were as conciliatory as she appeared in the program, tragedy might have been avoided between the Sharks and the Jets.
At the Sixteenth Annual Zenon Awards Ceremonies in October of 2001, Jenna's name appeared again as one of the members of the chorus that participated in that evening entertainment.
Jenna's second part at The Lakeside Playhouse was that of Wendy Darling in Melanie Boulay's soaring presentation of the musical version of J.M. Barrie's much loved children's play, Peter Pan. Her fine performance was rewarded with a Zenon for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, one of the eight Zenons that Peter Pan accumulated that season, and in doing so, the musical gained the added distinction of being the second most decorated show in HLT history.
To date, Jenna has gained 20 citations at Highlands Little Theatre, her name has been in two play and Zenon programs, five HLT Newsletters, and in eleven news articles by local papers.
Congratulations Jenna on your wonderful and speedy success. Your talent foreshadows an outstanding career at Highlands Little Theatre and your next appearance is looked forward to with pleasure and anticipation.
