President
Alondra Sánchez (EH3, CC, CL)
About Me: David Bowie’s biggest fan. ABBA’s number two, and strong supporter of the Jonathan Larson Supremacy. Aside from claiming my prideful celebrity stan status, there’s nothing more that I enjoy other than making short films and indulging in a transcendent book. To name a few, my favorite book genres are magical realism, religious memoirs, and oh! no other than yes, tragicomedy!
Shameless plug in 3, 2, 1: I invite you to visit and join the Tragicomedy Toastmasters family AKA the BEST place to be on a Thursday evening! See you there, and remember, “keep on rockin' in the free world, doot doola doot doo!”.
VP of Education
Adele Fuzaylov (TP8)
About Me: I’m so glad my introverted, four-year-old self discovered the stage and felt that it was a safe and sacred space where I belonged.
Having found my passion so early in my life has allowed me to take on the stage through lead roles in various plays and musicals, through concerts in which I played the piano, flute, as well as guitar, and most importantly, through the speeches that I presented.
I was honored to become a Speech & Debate state finalist and a National semi-finalist last year, as well as a Regional Champion this year.
There is nothing I love more than sharing stories along with embodying different characters, and Tragicomedy has provided me with a safe space to do exactly that!
