McKenna Elise Dersam
My name is McKenna Dersam and I am a graduate of Southern Methodist University with a BFA in Theatre, specializing in acting. I love the joy of creativity and am fueled by making art wherever I go. I’m passionate about art that challenges the mind and highlights the human experience. I am heading to New York City to pursue a career in theatre, film, and television. Credits include Anne Frank in The Diary of Anne Frank at SMU; Eponine in Les Miserables; Margot in the feature film The Better Part.

“Once she gave herself “permission” to do and not think through the work, she became the fearless spitfire I knew her to be. Directing her as Anne Frank was a wonderful and inspiring experience.”
