Get To Know Jhalena!

Jhalena (zhawh-LEE-nuh) Sulcer (SUHL-sir)(she/her) is a silly, goofy, girl from Jacksonville, FL. She is currently a senior at Texas State University getting her B.F.A in musical theatre, where she'll be graduating in May 2027. She has worked at theatres including Wagon Wheel Center For The Arts, the Majestic Empire Foundation, and San Pedro Playhouse.

Jhalena is deeply passionate about thought provoking, speaking the unspoken, and most of all moving storytelling. Theatre and dance has provided a safe place for the young athlete. Her childhood was filled with gymnastics, volleyball, and a nerdy love for all things science. But that athleticism and analysis has nothing but informed her artistic journey. 

As a firm believer in representation, she aims to shine a light on the depth in African American and neurodiverse stories. As well as the importance of accessible practices. 

Away from the stage, Jhalena can be found on a stroll in nature, perfecting her coffee order, curating her playlists, and watching Food Network!
