JEANINE LEVY

While at FSU, she studied intensively under Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Jane Alexander (most recently on Broadway in Grand Horizons), who praised her as an actor who "can reach deep emotional heights easily."

 

Jeanine has appeared in numerous regional and Off-Broadway productions, performing with companies such as Cherry Lane Theatre, Hudson Shakespeare Company, Mill Mountain Theatre Company, Curran Repertory Theatre, Impact Theatre, Depot Theatre, and the prestigious Williamstown Theatre Festival. While living and working in New York City, she was also represented by UGLY Talent Agency for print and commercial work. ​She has participated in many staged readings and developmental workshops of new works, collaborating with playwrights and directors in the early stages of bringing fresh stories to life—a process she finds both creatively invigorating and essential to the evolution of theatre.

She was nominated for a Carbonell Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical in 2018, as well as  nominated for a Carbonell Award for Best Actress in a Play in 2021 for her work in Tennesee William's work Suddenly Last Summer.
