Alex Delekta- Assistant Builder
Alex is happy to be a part of their first production at the Greenhouse Cabaret. Graduating from the University of Kansas with a Masters in Architecture, he followed a career in construction management to Los Angeles. After learning some trade skills, he decided corporate life wasn’t for him and moved to sunny Bend, Oregon in 2020. When not making a mess in the theater, he finds himself building furniture and doing home renovations. Alex is a local wood artist running his small business, Bearded Architect Designs, out of his little garage. He was stoked when he got the opportunity to craft a set with all of these creative and talented people. He did some theater in high school and is glad his profession brought him back to the stage. When not building things, he is usually with his partner, Maya, conjuring ideas for dinner and D&D inspiration.
Dora Novak - Costume Design
Dora Novak grew up in Iowa and recently moved from a 10-year career in New York, NY, to Bend. She is thrilled to be designing for The Greenhouse Cabaret and this truly amazing cast and theater. She started her love for design and dance with Iowa Dance Theater as a child and continues to serve on their board and work as an artistic director, choreographer, and stage manager. She attended SUNY Purchase Dance Conservatory with a Composition Concentration and a minor in design construction. Dora has been designing and constructing costumes in NYC and LA for over a decade. Dora continues her work as an artist by costuming and designing dance, film, and TV, and joined IATSE in New York, Iowa and Oregon.

Brooklyn Wagner - Communications
Brooklyn Wagner (she/her) moved to Bend in 2011 and lived a thousand lives in our community since then! But one of her greatest passions and inspirations is getting to take any project from a spark of an idea to its finish line. Her experience in theater and acting has ranged from backstage crew to comedic relief to leading lady, and with her immense love for Somewhere That’s Green and The Greenhouse Cabaret, she’s excited to help see tick, tick…BOOM! come to life on this special stage.
