    Jeanne McKinnon grew up in a dance studio as the daughter of a ballerina and taught dance for many years before moving to children’s theatre where she found her true passion in working with children.  Jeanne helped start the Children’s Theatre Program at the Lake Worth Playhouse and over the past 15 years managed, taught, and choreographed shows and classes.  She also was Drama Club Advisor to Rocky Hill High School and Theatre Director for the Enfield Summer Music Camps in Connecticut..  Jeanne has recently choreographed shows for Standing Ovation Performing Arts and for Entr’Acte Theatrix.  She was last seen on stage in How to Succeed in Business and Cabaret at the Caldwell Theatre and with Entr’Acte Theatrix.  She is happy to be back working with her first acting teacher, Bob Carter, and the staff at Actor’s Rep where she looks forward to continuing to bring the joys of performing to children. Jeanne has a BA in education from the University of Maryland.

    Actor’s Rep first gained attention at its original location, 308 South Dixie, as an innovative, avant garde theatre and actors’ and technicians’ training ground in 1980. In an intimate workshop setting, actors’ skills were developed based on the work of Stanislavski, Strasberg, and other renowned teachers. The group formed a repertory company which produced seldom seen, daring, thought-provoking plays to high critical acclaim in its 99-seat theatre-in-the-round. It also developed the first summer acting camps for children and teens in Palm Beach and Broward counties.
