At El Rancho Charter School’s Musical Theater, Alana appeared in classic musicals like Oklahoma and Guys and Dolls, as well as various skits and musical revues. She also trained with Sterling Studios Young Actors Training, took voice instruction from Music Maker Studios, took dancing lessons in hip hop, salsa and ballroom at OC Dance Studios, and sings in the Children’s Concert Choir at her church. She sounds like she knows what it takes to become a very well-rounded talent!

Her ambitions didn’t stop in her community. She was also very active appearing in a series of short films produced and directed by members of Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts in Orange, California. She appeared in three altogether:

First, the role of Anna in the short film “Allegiance”, a drama that takes place in an alternate reality world where Adolf Hitler’s forces won World War II, and the schools of LA are filled with Nazi propaganda. As an innocent student, Anna must help her teacher and classmates rebel for freedom. Sounds intense! In this pic from the set, she goofs around with fellow castmembers. Alana being held at gunpoint – yet another reason to hate the Nazis!
