Alia Al-Turki

Poet and actress Alia Al-Turki is headed for Broadway and the New York Times’ Best Sellers List. In Honors Creative Writing, Dr. Maxon saw her gift in writing and begged her to submit her work to Webb’s Breakfast literary magazine. Often described as a powerful force, Alia is outgoing, open-minded, and able to excel at anything she puts her mind to. During her first year at Webb, she landed a lead role in Les Miserables and dazzled the audience. She was able to show her off her creative side, flaunt her acting and vocal skills, and embody her character. Dean Lantz, aka her Webb mom, still remembers her fantastic performance, and it brings a smile to her face every time that she thinks of it. But only a lucky few were allowed to witness Alia off-stage, coming to her room for late-night talks together in the dorms. Alia will miss chill water polo practices, car rides with Dean Lantz, and beef jerky pick-me-ups with Mr. Duque. Alia plans to take what she learned at Webb to Chapman University, where she hopes to further her love for literature. We are excited to see what she does next.
