ANGIE TENNANT

RESIDENT ARTIST

Angie (she/they) was raised in New Orleans, training as an Olympic gymnast before heading out to Seattle for college where she found acting. After she graduated, she came to NYC to train further and earned her MFA from The New School for Drama. There, she studied under phenomenal teachers: Kathleen Chalfant, Peter Jay Fernandez, Cotter Smith, David Chambers, Joe Grifasi, Erica Fae and many more. Since graduating, she’s continued to study under Dianne Weist, Erica Jensen, Maria Dizzia, and with the Bob Krakower technique.

As an androgynous actor, she’s consistently drawn to roles written about folks who are exploring the spectrum of gender. Much of her recent work reflects that, and her characters are people who are fighting to be seen, heard, and taken seriously in situations where those things seem impossible. Her passion for storytelling extends to her teaching practice where she hosts regular workshops exploring the Analysis Through Action technique.

She’s been seen on the New York Off-Broadway stage in Bar Dykes at The Flea, Boys Will Be Boys at 59E59, Somebody’s Gotta Be the Hero... at The Working Theater and The Dead, 1904 at The Irish Repertory Theatre. Recent television includes “Amsterdam Ave” with Cate Curtin and “Giving Me Life”. Angie Tennant is represented by The Talent Express NY. More information at www.angietennant.com.
