Elana Elyce
Director
Elana Elyce had the pleasure of working with Second Site in 2023, directing two site-specific performances. She thinks she must’ve done an okay job, cause here she is again! In addition to directing, Elana acts, coaches and writes. Back in the day back in Detroit, she started teaching and directing while still a teenager, working with children, teens, and young adults for fifteen years prior to moving to Chicago. Since moving to Chicago in 2007 she’s been welcomed to play on many, many stages around the city and has directed a bunch of readings and plays including two critically acclaimed productions: The Vagina Monologues with Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre in Evanston and Here Lies Henry with Interrobang Theatre Project. Elana co-hosts “You’re on in Five! The Art of Understudying” which can be heard anywhere other podcasts can be heard. She’s also the Business Manager of The Chicago Inclusion Project. She thanks Jenni & Nathaniel for wanting her around again.
