Jenna is an emerging director and theatre administrator, currently based out of New York and Pennsylvania. 

 

In May of 2019 Jenna graduated from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Theatre (concentration in Directing), and a double minoring in Business and Italian Studies. Some of her favorite accomplishments at Muhlenberg include directing the Mainstage production of Still Growing Up in fall of 2018 and the studio production of Does This Woman Have a Name? by Theresa Rebeck in fall of 2017. Jenna also had a unique opportunity at Muhlenberg to work as Presidential Assistant for the Theatre and Dance General Manager. In this role, she served as both Audience Services Manager and primary assistant to the General Manager. 

​

Professionally, Jenna has worked at the award-winning Goodman Theatre in Chicago in the Casting Department, as well as at Maine State Music Theatre in Company Management and Audience Services. While studying as a Directing Apprentice at Powerhouse/NYSAF, Jenna became trained in a unique form of improv called Soundpainting. She has extensive experience in new work development and loves doing readings and workshops of new plays and musicals. Currently, Jenna is searching for jobs in theatre administration, hoping to build to a career in either producing or artistic administration, all while continuing to direct.  For more information about her experience and other unique skills, go take a look at her resumes!

Outside of theatre, Jenna has been studying the Italian language and culture for 10 years (and counting!); in spring of 2018 she spent four months studying abroad in Florence, Italy. Like most people, she enjoys a good sitcom, is an avid fan of flavored popcorn, and loves just about any dessert.
