Tessa Liles

Tessa is 22 years old and thrilled to be part of Newsies! This marks her third musical, and she's loved every step of the journey. She recently graduated from Kennesaw State University with a degree in Health and Physical Education and is preparing to serve on mission with the Daughter's of Mary Help of Christians (Salesian Sisters) in Tampa for her next adventure.

A lifelong dancer since age 2, Tessa discovered her passion for theatre later on and has enjoyed diving into this creative world. She has a heart for kids, a love for teaching, and a deep desire to serve the Lord in all she does. Her greatest goal in life is to become a saint and one day make it to heaven.

She's incredibly thankful to God for the opportunity to be part of this show and for the community around her. Special thanks to her amazing parents for their constant love and support, and to her brother, who means the world to her. She's so grateful for this cast and crew and hopes you enjoy the show as much as she has enjoyed being in it!
