About

Bio

Felisha Heng is a director, stage manager, and overall theater enthusiast. Originating from Miami, FL, Felisha is a bilingual Cuban American and a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community. She graduated from Pace University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Theater Arts, but her greatest education has stemmed from over 10 years of hands on experience Off-Broadway and in several non-profit community theaters throughout New York City.

Felisha created “Let’s Put on a Show”, an afterschool program designed for elementary school students to write and perform in their own versions of their favorite musicals. She prides herself in sparking the love of theater in her students at an early age.

Fueled by a determination to foster connections, Felisha’s main priority is to create safe and fun environments that ignite the joy of collaborative theater making.

When not in a theater, Felisha can often be found snuggling her dog, Elphie.

“Telling stories is our best hope of reflecting the kind of world we want to live in and, therefore, gives us hope of creating it.”
