Janna was born in the desert on the eve of the greatest lightening storm in Arizona history, and drove out for New York City on the next biggest one.  She studied acting at Tisch, NYU, at La MaMa Etc, and with founding members of The Performance Group in NY... and now acts, directs, and teaches creative performance to young people in San Francisco.  Janna has never participated in a pie-eating contest, has never synchronized-swam, and never seen a lightening bug.  But she would like to do all three.  Her favorite forms of performance include ministry, drag, and channeling.  Her favorite thing about improvisation is getting to play with grown-ups.
