Weiss, Alayna

I am excited to be teaching Music at HHES! Music has always been one of my first loves. I received my B.F.A in Musical Theatre from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. I have enjoyed a diverse career singing, acting, and dancing on stage professionally as well as on a community level all over the U.S.; including New York, Massachusetts, Arizona, Florida, New Mexico, Ohio, and now Mississippi. Since moving to DeSoto County ten years ago, I have had the privilege of performing with DeSoto Family Theatre and Kudzu Playhouse. Additionally, I have directed numerous Allie nominated productions for Kudzu Playhouse as well as summer camp for DeSoto Family Theatre.

My family and I, comprised of my husband Victor, Max age 17, Graham age 14, and Grey age 10, are Southerners by choice and have adopted Hernando as home. We love to travel the world and make every opportunity to chase adventure at home and abroad. I am an avid reader, pseudo runner, amateur baker, professional taco eater, enthusiastic gardener, HGTV buff, and yoga devotee.

I know that your children and I will have a fantastic year learning to play the ukulele, experiencing different genres of music,auditioning and participating in the choir, performing for you on stage,and deepening their love of music. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, concerns, or kudos. Together, I am confident that we will have a tremendous year!

All my best,

Alayna Weiss
