MEDINA, Ohio — The Medina community and the University of Mount Union theatre family are rallying around Addie Wisniewski as she recovers from serious injuries sustained in a recent accident.
Wisniewski, an actress, writer, and producer, suffered a severe fall from her wheelchair last week and continues to receive medical care. Supporters across northeast Ohio have expressed concern and shared messages of encouragement as she battles her injuries.
A 2019 graduate of Highland High School, Wisniewski went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Theater Performance from the University of Mount Union. During her time there, she appeared in several notable productions, including Shrek, where she portrayed Gingy, and Or, in which she played Lady Davenant. In addition to performing, she worked behind the scenes as an assistant director and served as executive producer, co-writer, and actor for the film Class Act, created for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge.
Wisniewski remained active in the theater community and was recently preparing for upcoming productions of Joseph’s Troubles About Mary and The Trial Before Herod. She is well known in Cleveland’s theater scene for her versatility and commitment to the arts.
A Prayer of Adoration in support of Wisniewski and her family is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 19, at 7 p.m. at Holy Martyrs Catholic Church, located at 3100 Old Weymouth Road in Medina. The service will also be available via livestream. Community members, fellow artists, and friends are invited to attend and offer prayers for her recovery.
