Lena Moore

is a Chicago-based and Los Angeles-born performer, playwright, and screenwriter studying Theatre at Northwestern University. Onstage, she is best known for her humor, fearlessness, and proclivity for playing unlikeable characters. Most recently, Lena played Marcy in Dog Sees God, amusing audiences by rapping, dancing on tables, and spitting “vodka” across a table only to slurp it back off her fingers. This Summer, she is playing Nina in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike at The Provincetown Theater in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Within her writing, Lena enjoys telling stories dissecting morality, complex relationships, and vulnerability, exploring these themes across realist and surrealist landscapes. Her newest play Rest Stop was performed at Northwestern University in March of 2025. Outside of theatre, Lena enjoys Russian literature, oatmeal raisin cookies, and thrifting for vintage purses.
