Jennifer (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Seattle, WA. Her heritage is comprised of singers, ceramicists, painters, writers, filmmakers, photographers and musicians – and she has followed in their proverbial footsteps, pursuing several forms of Art:
A classically trained actor (graduate: The American Academy of Dramatic Arts NYC with honors), Jennifer has a deep love of historical and period pieces, though frequently (and enthusiastically) collaborates with playwrights on contemporary, original work. An avid traveler, she has trained and performed in New York City, Los Angeles, and abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland.
In addition to performing, Jennifer wears many other theatrical hats: scenic artist, dramaturg, director, producer, and dialect coach.
Jennifer's theatrical work has been seen onstage with award-winning companies including The Co-Conspirators, Seattle Shakespeare Company, A Contemporary Theatre (ACT), Book-It Repertory Theatre, Sound Theatre Company, ArtsWest, Seattle Public Theatre, Theatre22, Island Shakespeare Festival, Tacoma Opera, The Secret Theatre, New York International Fringe Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the MacRobert Arts Centre in Stirling, Scotland and the Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Jennifer is also a professional fine artist. You can explore her biography in fine art on her Art page.
In all aspects of her work, Jennifer is particularly interested in telling femme-forward stories and creating art that centers women’s voices and experiences.
“Jennifer is exactly the sort of person you want in your rehearsal room- attuned to the process, generous to collaborators and audiences alike, prepared, professional, playful, and passionate. Deciding to work with Jennifer again is an easy yes for me.” - playwright, director Melanie Godsey
“She has an incredible range from a kind of lyrical Impressionism to a romantic realism, but all with a certain something that is unmistakably a Jennifer Ewing piece.“ - playwright, director Susannah Rose Woods
"Stoic and elegant, like Virginia Woolfe without the crippling depression, but with all the intuitiveness." - screenwriter, director Jade Bartlett
“Jennifer Ewing...gives an incandescent performance, filled with great insight and strength reflecting the ideal qualities of the character. It’s a winning performance in a production full of powerful acting.”
“Ewing provides a tour-de-force as The Void, every sardonic smile, slow head turn, and poised strut keeping you glued to her character every moment she’s on stage.”
