JEANINE BRUEN

Jeanine Bruen is an accomplished multi-hyphenate creative across genres, meeting the story wherever it lives. A singer, actress, teacher and writer hailing from the majestic Island of Staten, Jeanine earned her B.A. in Theatre Performance from Wagner College and MA in English (complete December 2025) from Arizona State. She has also trained for nearly a decade as an actor and director at the esteemed The Barrow Group in NYC.

Various regional theatre credits include the world premiere of Pamela’s First Musical at Two River Theatre, directed by ten-time Tony nominee Graciela Daniele. Recently, she spent the summer in the Berkshires understudying Anna in the Tropics at Barrington Stage Company, directed by Elena Araoz and starring RENT OBC member Wilson Jermaine Heredia. She made her directing debut with Let's Broadway on "Down With Love" at Rockwood Music Hall in 2023 and Anything But Broadway in 2024. Among her many other loves and avocations (as if she isn't busy enough) is cooking (and eating), laughing at her own jokes, and writing. Jeanine is a published poet and currently the digital content strategist and writer for The Care Hack, an organization providing resources to family caregivers.
