Meet the Cast of
Adele Park
Writer, Producer, Editor, KNVL News Anchor
When I tell people I grew up in Boulder, Colorado, they say that explains a lot about my personality. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts from Mesa College, I spent the next 20 years working in television and radio as a reporter, news anchor and on-air Personality. During my career in broadcasting, I also worked as a freelance writer and photographer. My articles and photos have been published in a variety of magazines. In 2008, I formed Straight to Audio Productions and produced my first audio book. Outside the studio, I enjoy ATV riding and hanging out at Lake Powell with Michael, my funny Valentine.

A Tennessee native, I earned my BFA in performance (and did my first dialect work) at the University of Memphis. As an actor, director, teacher and student, I worked professionally on both coasts and abroad before arriving in southern Utah. My credits include a wide range of styles from straight American comedy with the Neil Simon Festival, to grotesque with The Grand Guignolers, to Commedia dell'Arte with Antonio Fava. I am proud to now add audio books to my repertoire.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with Adele on this project. The first audio book I worked on for Straight to Audio Productions was such a challenge, it makes this experience even more exciting. I have performed in 13 productions with St. George Musical Theater. I love acting, and welcomed the opportunity to practice my craft in a new way doing a voice character. In my profession, I work as a hairstylist and have done educational work for Redken 5th Avenue. One of the awards I am grateful to have received is being voted "Best Hairstylist in Southern Utah" by readers polled in St. George Magazine.
