I am soon to be playing Thea Elvsted in Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, which is playing at the Etcetera Theatre in Camden. Scroll for more info...
I have been crafting and developing cabarets, performing in New York and London. Most recently, I performed, Aphrodite on Love: A Mythical Cabaret at the The Greenroom 42 and Don't Tell Mama in NYC. In London, I have performed in venues such as Piano Smithfield, Toulouse Lautrec, The Water Rats, and The Kings Head Theatre. Due to the success of my first cabaret, Alissa Through the Looking Glass, (Autumn of 2021) I have developed and performed the following cabarets, Aphrodite Legend of the Sea, Eternal Musings: A Mythical Cabaret, Confessions of a Goddess Unhinged, An American in Paris, Some Enchanted Evening and All That is Gold.

Aphrodite Legend of the Sea
An evening of myths surrounding the Greek Goddess Aphrodite highlighted by musical theatre, opera, and jazz repertoire. We are thrown into the world of higher beings as Aphrodite is fretfully torn from the love of her life, Ares, sanctioned as a gift by Zeus for marriage to the crippled Hephaestus, falls lovesick for the mortal Adonis and inadvertently causes the pretext for war … this musical cabaret poses the timeless question, can love conquer all?

I previously hosted The Theatre Show with Alissa Finn on Hoxton Radio, which covered theatre, arts, poetry, and classical music in London. The show featured artists from the Royal Court, Royal Shakespeare Company, Wilton’s Music Hall, Apollo Theatre, Arcola Theatre, Criterion Theatre, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Literature and Poetry Society at the Southbank Centre, the Barbican, and more.
Now I have developed a new podcast... Alissening Show
