Art Will Endure

While our stages were closed for our 2020-21 season, we commissioned 10 local playwrights to write monologues on the theme of hope. Each of these monologues was performed by a local actor and shared on our Facebook and Instagram accounts, as well as on this page. Scroll down for more detailed artist information and to watch the complete series.

Jen is honored to be a part of this beautiful Playhouse project. Originally from St. Louis and a graduate of Wright State, she has called this region her artistic home for almost 30 years. Jen is a proud member of Actor’s Equity and a resident artist at The Human Race Theatre Company in Dayton. Regional credits include Erma Bombeck in At Wit’s End, Amanda in The Glass Menagerie and Annette in God of Carnage at Human Race; Aimee in The Humans and Rosemary in Outside Mullingar at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati; Twelfth Night and Merry Wives at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company; and Virginie in The Man-Beast at Know Theatre. When not sheltering in place with her awesome husband and son, she tours the country with her original one-woman show, The MILF Also Rises. Thanks to Blake and Annie and to the incredibly powerful theatre community of this region. We will all hug, create, rehearse, perform and connect again soon.
