Jennifer Costello |
| Jennifer Costello like most theatre artists, was bitten by the bug at a young age and has been unable to cure herself of it her entire adult life. Originally a classic musical theatre performer, she graduated college and hit NYC with the hope of operating a true ensemble based acting troupe. She did just that with her husband Micah Hollingworth. Together, they ran their non-profit company, Monster[less] Actors Inc., for eight years, mounting at least two full productions a year. The highlight of their non-profit activity was their 1993 world-premiere staged production of Caryl Churchill?s radio play The After Dinner Joke, which received a Top 10 theatre award for the year by In Theatre Magazine. While keeping one foot firmly planted in the not-for-profit world, Jennifer went on to work in the Broadway commercial community, first for PACE Theatrical Group, then SFX Entertainment, Clear Channel Entertainment, and finally Broadway Across America where on a yearly basis she creates and maintains a division-wide annual budget with an estimated average yearly profit of $10 million. At its largest, she managed a staff of 15, overseeing their projects and creating road maps for their growth in the organization. Currently she evaluates projects for the division?s involvement in all commercial productions, acting as executive producer on select projects ? for the Broadway 2004-05 Season these productions included: The Producers, La Cage Aux Folles, All Shook Up, and Sweet Charity. Jennifer was a theater major at Walnut Hill and is a 1993 magna cum laude graduate of the theater program at the University of Massachusetts. |
