Luiza Parodia Penha (she/her) is an Atlanta based performer, director and teaching artist. She has recently completed her BFA in Theatre Arts with a concentration in Performance and Direction at the University of North Georgia.

As an artist, her greatest passion is collaboration. To her, theatre is about puzzle-solving and working with a cast and crew to make all the pieces come together.

When she’s not in the theatre, Luiza loves trying new recipes, reading books, and frolicking in open fields.

Luiza is currently working as a camp director with Destination Theatre and a teaching artist with the Alliance Theatre. She will be joining Key City Public Theatre in Port Townsend, Washington as their Artistic/Education Apprentice.
