Lena started writing plays back in her living room with her friend Ana Hurka-Robles. They usually included musical interludes, short skits and commercials. Since then, Lena and Ana have collaborated on many things, including the new musical Practical Marriage: Green Cards, Health Insurance and Deliberate Pregnancy. Lena went on to write more plays with silly titles like The Family Abortionist and Eat! She hopes that her plays make people laugh.
