Mackenna Van Massenhoven

Mackenna VanMassenhoven (she/her) ignited her passion for performing in 2020, and hasn’t stopped for a second since. Growing up in a small rural town, and having no background in the arts or entertainment, Mackenna has been making her own way through the journey one step at a time.

Mackenna has made the most of the opportunity that surrounds her, attending arts emphasis secondary school H. B. Beal for their accelerated musical theatre program. She has also attended other training programs like Drayton Entertainment’s Triple Threat Intensive and Western University’s Vocal Intensive, constantly looking for more chances to grow as an artist. Mackenna has been in many musical theatre productions in her time as an actor, including shows with notable theatres like Drayton Entertainment, the Grand Theatre and Beal Musical Theatre.

While not on stage, Mackenna inspires the youth to experience the arts. Mackenna works as an instructor at the Drayton Entertainment Youth Academy, teaching weekly classes and boot camps for a wide age range. She teaches basic elements of dance, singing, acting, and comedy.

Evidently, Mackenna loves to sing, performing at local events and businesses with her acoustic guitar. As well as singing and playing guitar, Mackenna loves to experiment with accent and impression work.

Mackenna has a true passion for performance, and doesn’t take a single chance for granted. She is extremely grateful for all the opportunities she has had so far, and looks with optimism towards the future of her career!
