Anna Lettera is a Brooklyn-based actor and comedian. She received her BFA in Theatre Arts with a concentration in Performance from Hofstra University in 2022. Anna appeared most recently in Sterile Processing by Ava O’Dea, directed by LD Kelley as a part of the Spade Collective’s 10-minute play festival: Dealer’s Choice. Other recent credits include Gamepiece, Claire Ganz in Rumors, directed by Chris Dippel, and Usher/God/Understanding in Everybody, directed by Kevin R. Free.
She has received her improv training from Brooklyn Comedy Collective and can be seen frequently bouncing around the New York comedy scene appearing alongside Elana Morris as one half of the comedy duo NANA, and often performing with long form teams Starpop and Third Degree Crush. Most recently, Anna is thrilled to be taking on the title of Associate Producer and ensemble member of the experimental theatre company, Sleight of Hand, as they continue to develop and perform Christian Flynn and Kelsey Sullivan's Gamepiece. A show that combines the ensemble's backgrounds in improv and theatre, as well as the audience's curious mind, to create an interactive theatre game.
Anna’s work is fueled by her love to explore and build something beautiful, human and often weird, with an ensemble. She believes there is no greater joy than being present with someone on stage, and has been described as a “lightning bolt” and “a f*cking delight” when she hits the improv stage.

Off the stage, Anna is a Teaching Artist with the Irondale Ensemble Project and Brooklyn Acting Lab, as well as a freelance PA for press junkets and film sets. She is also a self-proclaimed "Canva fanatic," having managed social media for a number of theaters and improv teams.
