My Story
My journey in Performing Arts began when I started putting on shows in my basement as a kid and charging my family to see them! Now, I have over 20 years of experience in Theatre, On-Camera, Voice Overs, Music, and as a Teaching Artist, Director, and Private Coach.
Originally from New York, I earned my BFA in Drama from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, studying both Acting and Directing at the Playwrights Horizons Theatre School. I now live and work in the Denver Metro area with my family of five.
In 2018 I developed a condition called Bell's Palsy. It is a neuorligical disorder which causes partial paralysis to the face. For me it happened RIGHT before I gave birth to my beautiful twins! It affected the left side of my face, and I have been in physical therapy treatments to repair the damage for several years. For more about Bell's Palsy and my journey, you can check out this page: Bell's Palsy Warrior

"Alison’s frustrated and sorrowful mother is created by Adrienne Asterita. Beautiful and talented in real life, Helen was a noted actress in local productions. It is easy to imagine how escaping into a role and away from her own dismal home life could have brought her relief. Adrienne illustrated the dichotomy of Helen’s life with grace and understanding."
-Becky Pineda, Front Row Center Denver
"As Bruce’s wife, Helen, Adrienne Asterita breaks our hearts with her singing of her loneliness and depression with "Days and Days".”
- David Marlowe, Marlowe's Musings
"As his wife, Helen, Asterita is appropriately melancholy and distracted by her husband’s sexual proclivity."
