Adele Lennig

Chair
Adele Lennig is a Vice President of Product Development at Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. and is currently serving as our Board Chair.

Adele, joined the Board of Directors of Mu Performing Arts because of her passion for theater and her interest in Asian American culture.  A self-described theater junkie, she graduated from Webster University in St. Louis with a degree in Theater Arts-Directing and, after moving to Minneapolis, served as an assistant director during the early days of the Cricket Theater.  In addition, she is the proud adoptive mother of both a Korean and a Chinese daughter and is always seeking to expose them to their particular Asian cultures and to the broader Asian American experience.

Since she started with Mu in 2001, Adele has worked on the Personnel Committee and led the Audience Development Committee.  In addition, because of her background in Directing, she occasionally has the opportunity to provide coaching and support to some of our up and coming Asian directors as a part of either our New Directions or our New Eyes festivals.
