About

Jenny McClintock is a native New Yorker who has acted in a wide variety of theater, film and television productions throughout the city and regionally. She began as a kid, exploring characters in musicals and variety shows at church and community theaters, and her avid curiosity about human nature eventually led to pursuit of a cultural anthropology degree at Vassar College and plans for an academic research career.

While the lure of the stage prevailed, Jenny’s fascination with the world around her continues to inform her acting choices and desire to tell honest and compelling stories that illuminate the extraordinary in the everyday. She trained at William Esper Studio, the Actors Movement Studio, and Ensemble Studio Theatre, and is a member of the New Jersey Repertory Company.

Reviews


Cat's Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut, adapted/produced by Untitled Theater Company #61 at Walkerspace, NYC:

Jenny played the role of Claire Minton, the dignified ambassador's wife, in the world premiere musical called "ingenious" by Backstage. The Tribeca Trib praised her "notable" performance, and nytheatre.com's critic wrote that she recreated Mrs. Minton "just exactly how I heard [her] in my head when reading the novel."

Hazard County, by Allison Moore, at Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theatre, Wellfleet, MA:

The Boston Globe called Jenny’s performance "especially skilled,” The Provincetown Banner wrote that she “has the toughest part as Ruth... she manages to be emotional without being pathetic, and strong without being obvious" and The Barnstable Patriot said "Jenny McClintock shows great depth as a loving mother and gullible target".
