Talking With Jana Wimer – September 18, 2023

This week, Ira spoke with Jana Wimer, director and co-writer of “Abandon” at the Vegas Theatre Company in the Las Vegas Arts District, with performances beginning October 5. In this episode of  “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Jana talks about the production, a scary journey through an asylum in 1800s Paris; why horror and theatre are her two loves; why she loves to add humor to her productions; how “Abandon” reflects on the issues of mental health and persecution; and why theatre is always a work in progress. 

Jana Wimer is co-creator and co-director of the long-running cult horror hit, “Urban Death” and “Urban Death: Tour of Terror” at Zombie Joe’s Underground. A lifelong horror fan, Jana started acting in high school and went on to get her degree in Theatre Arts. She acted in the first several incarnations of “Urban Death,” including a run in New York City. She directed an Urban Death in Cape Town, South Africa, with an all South African cast. Jana also directed several productions with the horror theatrical company The Visceral Company. Her theatrical horror directing credits also include: Attack of the Rotting Corpses, The 10 O’clock People, Fever Dream, Horror-fest, Madness! Murder! Mayhem!, Devil’s Love at Midnight, and Habeas Corpus. She studied puppetry with Muppet artists and also has an extensive background in art and music.
