Elena Lozonschi is a Romanian-born actor based in New York City. A prominent figure on the New York stages, she gravitates toward roles that explore the complexities of human struggle and the blurred lines between right and wrong. Notable credits include playing Lyubov Andreyevna in the multilingual production of The Cherry Orchard (in her native Romanian) and the intense solo role in Dennis Kelly's Girls & Boys. Elena is also a regular on the Living Radio series and starred in the long running A Sketch of New York at the Producers Club.

A cherished project in Elena's portfolio is Falling, a physical theater piece developed by Bill Bowers for the inaugural PhysFest, performed with the ensemble Stellaaa. The piece blended physical and spiritual expression, pushing the boundaries of traditional theater. Look out for her next in A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Court Square Theater and leading as Fabiana Aziza Cunningham (understudy) in Stephen Adly Guirgis's The Last Days of Judas Iscariot at the Heights Players.

Elena is the co-founder of Béton Brut Productions, a theater company dedicated to experimental, edgy, and relevant work that explores the messy, imperfect, and profound aspects of the human experience. She is preparing to lead as Jean in an exciting and timely new translation of Eugene Ionesco's Rhinoceros, directed by Rebecca Frank and co-produced by Béton Brut Productions, premiering next spring.​
