"Lenny"- Zoë Weizenbaum

I was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1991 to a Jewish Buddhist Mom and a Chinese Dad. I grew up from the age of two in Amherst, Massachusetts, which feels like home to me. I have loved performance from the time I could move. For years African Dance was my primary love. I also enjoyed being part of our local musical theatre productions. I was called
for an audition for Missing In America after someone saw me perform in a local production of Peter Pan. Since finishing this movie, I have also had principle roles in 12 and Holding, directed by Michael Cuesta, and in Memoirs of a Geisha, directed by Rob Marshall. I am currently a student at the Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Middle School.
