"The Update"

I send out an update once every month or two just to touch base with family, friends and various arts buddies, letting them know about shows, auditions, etc. I just sent one out the other day, please see below. :) Also, if anyone would like to be added to the recipient list, please e-mail me: JenPonton@gmail.com Franks, and enjoy!

Hey folks!

After over a month of performances, Kate Smith is closing today! It's been an absolutely wonderful run, reflected in ticket sales--we sold out of tickets by the end of the first week. :)

For those of you unable to attend, yes, I *did* sing "God Bless America" and "When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain." For those of you who were able to make it out, THANK YOU! This has been such a fun show! :)

In other news...

While doing the show, I've been going on quite a number of auditions for theatre, film and TV. Recently, I had an audition and callback for the feature film "Blissestrasse," as well as a pilot for the Showtime network! I was also recently asked to do an infomercial. The next Billy Mays? :)

I've also auditioned for many reputable theatre companies: Two River Theatre Co. (Red Bank, NJ), Dreamcatcher Repertory Theatre (West Orange, NJ), and--the most exciting of all!--I had a tremendous callback last week for "Hairspray" at the Derby Dinner Playhouse in Louisville, KY! We shall see...

Stay tuned for updates! 'Til then, be well!

Fondly,
Jen Ponton

Raves for JEN PONTON as Berdine in "Psycho Beach Party"!

"Berdine [is] portrayed with zest by the pig-tailed Jen Ponton. Her sincere readings of Sartre and Schopenhauer provide...comic relief." -Peter Filichia, The Star-Ledger

"Jen Ponton’s frantic, Chicklet-loving Berdine...[is] energetic and likeable."
-Bob Rendell, Talkin' Broadway

"Ms. Ponton is a hoot."
-Susan Myrill Dougherty, The Westfield Leader
