Jennifer Berkemeier

Born in Dayton, Ohio, Jennifer has done a little bit of everything to further her talent of acting. Raised in Indiana, she graduated from Richmond High School and went on to study pre-law at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Fl. After a year of studying, law didn't have the passionate effect she thought it would. She then enrolled in acting classes and a passion was born. Over the last 10 years she has lent her talent in films, theatre (on stage and backstage) and has continued her training and increased her special skills to become a diverse talent in the dramatic world of acting. Jennifer has had supporting roles in Loss (2006), Reunion (2006) and the upcoming Shade of Grey (2008). She has appeared in award winning films such as Foxxy Madonna vs. The Black Death (2007), Quench (2007), and Dependence (2007). Jennifer is playing Elizabeth in an adaptation of Frankenstein. She has worked on several theatre projects including her roles in From Dark Pages, Daughter of the Lone Star State (Ima Jean), The Foreigner (Catherine Simms) and has been nominated for best supporting actress and best song performance as Lady Larken in Once Upon a Mattress and nominated for best Cameo as Nicole in The Baker's Wife. In addition to her various roles on stage, she has experienced backstage roles including costuming, set building, choreography, and makeup. Jennifer has taken courses in professional acting, dance, speech and voice production, and improvisation to fine-tune her skills. Her expertise in swimming, horseback riding, tennis, violin, acrobatics, singing (alto-soprano), accents (British and southern), bowling, PADI advanced open water scuba diver, experience with ADR, flare bar tending and character voices only deepens and broadens her talent as a dedicated thespian.
