Jenna Roth is a queer, Jewish artist who grew up in Los Angeles, California, where she attended the prestigious Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA). Initially a performer, Jenna found her true love in directing and playwriting. For college, she attended NYU’s Tisch Drama Program, studying in the Playwrights Horizons Theater School.
While at NYU, she participated in numerous student productions as a director, playwright, intimacy coordinator, set designer, assistant stage manager, actor, and costume designer.
Post college, Jenna has worked at Open Hydrant Theater Company in the Bronx, where she stage managed a production of Footloose and wrote and directed three plays for their short play festivals.
Jenna's primary goal as an artist is to help people feel seen. Whether that be for an actor, designer, or audience member, she wants her work to resonate with those who encounter it. The theater she is passionate about making is chaotic, daring, and bold. However, it is also grounded, specific, and highly emotional. Her favorite topics to work on often surround mental health, sexuality, gender, and identity.
She strives to be didactic in her work, and establish a gateway to discussing issues that can at first seem daunting, but end up being beneficial to emotional growth and healing. Jenna is so honored to be the artistic director of Make Lemonade Productions.
