Jennifer Richardson

Artist Profile

Jennifer Richardson is thrilled to return for her fourth show at Chance Theater, having appeared in Tiny Beautiful Things, Striking 12, and Fun Home. Jennifer is a professional actor, singer, cellist, director, and theatre artist. She holds an MFA in Acting and teaches acting and musical theatre at CSU Long Beach. One of her first “playbill” program bios (for The Sound of Music at the Globe Theater in Odessa, TX where she played Brigitta) described her as a ten year old who “loves gymnastics, whistling , singing, playing and involvement in theatre in any capacity. Jennifer has a pet parakeet named “Captain” and a five-year-old sister, Nancy.” Almost 50 years later most of those things are still true. She has followed her dreams. You can follow her journey @jenleerichardson.
