My name is Helena Padial and I am an ambitious, triple-threat performer from Palisades, NY! The daughter of a dancer and a drummer, I have been unable to sit still or stay quiet for as long as I can remember! No seriously, imagine me at age 5, using the couch as a ballet barre while simultaneously belting “Tomorrow” from Annie. Now add in my little brother screaming, “be quiet!”, followed by my mom giving me notes on my ballet technique. That was pretty much an everyday occurrence in the Padial household. Safe to say it makes sense that I am here!

I am a 2026 graduate from Elon University’s Music Theatre program and had the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at Theatre Academy London—two programs that have shaped my identity as an artist. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am devoted to creating inclusive spaces and inspiring change through my art. I love to sing and dance and act and play, but above all, LET’S TELL THE DAMN STORY!

Thanks for stopping by!
