ABOUT

My name is Breana Deanda

I'm a performer based in DFW, and a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington with my BFA in Musical Theatre. I am currently working aboard the Disney Wish portraying the role of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin: The Musical Spectacular. Some other credits of mine include Esmeralda in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mimi in Rent, and Martha in Spring Awakening.

I can be contacted through this website or by my agent. I am represented by Cachet Talent Agency.

While at the UTA, I learned the importance of creating space for artists of color and being able to tell a story from different perspectives. One devised theatre project, in particular, solidified this understanding. In 2022, I engaged in a partnership study between UTA and MIT. Students from both Universities collaborated in a two-semester course titled "Design for the Future" to present a piece at MIT that encapsulated the meaning of community, struggle, and finding joy.

I grew up in a Mexican and Laotian household, so I value incorporating my heritage and past experiences into my art. Being raised by an immigrant mother allowed me to be proud of my Laotian roots, especially when there isn't much media representation for me to look to. As a performer, I strive to provide that representation not only for myself but as well as my community.

Outside of acting, my other hobbies include knitting, crocheting, and sewing. I grew up making beanies, scarves, blankets, and any type of applique you can think of! I also made my high school prom dress within two weeks, which is crazy in hindsight but I'm proud of how it came out.
