Multi-talented Ren Hanami brings her brand of "Aloha Spirit" to everything she does. Ren acts, sings and dances on stage, screen and television. This dynamo has been in the entertainment business since her first dancing job at Disneyland as a teenager. Earning a degree in Theater Arts from U.C.L.A. gave Ren a strong foundation for acting in all areas of the business and she started her professional career while still in school landing a role in "A Flower Drum Song." She has enjoyed many regional stage productions of "Company," "My Fair Lady," "The King and I," "South Pacific" with Reba McEntire at The Hollywood Bowl, and most recently "Makeover" at TheatreWorks in Palo Alto.
