oh, hi there!
My name is Jillian Drennan, and I am an actor, singer, director, and dancer currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Originally from Fort Worth, TX, I am now finishing up my senior year at Molloy University/CAP21 and loving every second of it!
In my artistry, I have always heavily identified with taking the path less traveled. I root for the underdog, I seek out new, vibrant, and often absurd stories, and I love turning expectations on their head. I believe art is about the exploration of human experience and connection, and I see the stories I get to tell as a way to chart the uncharted waters of humanity. While the world continues to become more complicated and difficult to navigate, I think our job as artists is to create a release from it all by giving ourselves and our audiences permission to feel. I hope to create work that finds a common language with those who need to experience that catharsis most, and maybe help them feel a little bit less alone.
Outside of performing, some of my hobbies include solving crossword puzzles, cooking, watching movies, deep diving on Wikipedia, collecting vinyl, and cuddling with my delightfully orange cat, Ferguson!
