Newcomer Monica Keena returns to DAWSON'S CREEK as Abby Morgan, the Capeside foursome's former nemesis. This season, she becomes best friends with Jen (Michelle Williams), often proving to be a bad influence on her. Born in New Jersey and raised in Brooklyn, Keena has always found an outlet for her creativity. As a child, she immersed herself in classes, determined to perfect her craft in drawing, painting, singing and dance. At the age of 13, Keena auditioned for acceptance into LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts, made famous around the world by "Fame." She was accepted into both the vocal and dramatic arts department, choosing drama as her preference. Shortly after beginning classes at LaGuardia, Keena earned her first role in a short film entitled "Burning Love," and portrayed Bertha in a stage reading of Strinburg's "The Father," with Al Pacino, Julianne Moore and Vivica Linfors. Other film credits include "Devil's Advocate," "While You Were Sleeping," "Ripe" and the starring role in "Snow White," opposite Sigourney Weaver. Keena will soon be in Miramax's "Strike," opposite Kirsten Dunst and Gabby Hoffman. Keena recently finished her first year of college at New York University. In her free time, she takes writing classes.
