About me

Hi! I'm Aleka (like Metallica…hold the metal) - an actress/singer/dancer living in Atlanta, Georgia. Originally from the state of Maine, I studied theatre at TISCH/NYU and spent fifteen years performing in New York City - most recently, as Karen in Tim Rice’s new musical: From Here To Eternity. For a thorough list, please check out my Resumé page.
