about
me
I was raised in New Orleans where I grew up training as an Olympic-track gymnast. As I reached teenhood, I shifted my focus to competitive-league soccer before heading out to Seattle for college where I found acting. After I graduated, I moved to NYC to train further and earned my MFA from The New School for Drama. There, I studied under some phenomenal teachers: Kathleen Chalfant, Peter Jay Fernandez, Cotter Smith, David Chambers, Joe Grifasi, Erica Fae and many more. After graduating, I continued to study under Dianne Wiest, Erica Jensen, Maria Dizzia, and with the Bob Krakower technique.
After a decade in New York, I made the move out west and I now happily live in Portland, OR where I continue to work bi-coastally in film, tv, and theatre. Since the move, I've had the pleasure of working with Michael Raymond-James, Chris Conner, Ted Rooney, & Joseph Bertot.
As a gender non-conforming actor, I'm consistently cast in roles written about folks who are exploring the spectrum of gender. Much of my recent work reflects that, and the characters I'm called in for are people who are fighting to be seen, heard, and taken seriously in situations where those things seem impossible.

Walden
by Amy Berryman
Oct 22-Nov 15
21ten Theatre
Portland, OR
We go into rehearsals on Sept 21 and I can't wait to dive into this beautiful script. I'll be playing Stella, a woman forced to re-imagine her life after all her dreams fall apart. This three-hander is an intimate piece, perfect for the 42 seat house at 21ten and I hope you'll join us!
About the play:
Set in the near future, when we have depleted Earth's resources and NASA has begun "colonizing" the Moon, Stella and Cassie meet for the first time in years. But this is no ordinary reunion - these fraternal twins have been separated by more than just years and miles. And in her absence, Stella has begun a new life with her fiance, Bryan - an Earth Advocate who's devoted his life to saving what parts of Earth we still can.
Over a single weekend, the trio work to find connection and healing after an undefined rupture that constantly threatens to rear its head.

You stupid darkness!
by Sam Steiner
"The cast is wonderful. Angie Tennant in particular delivers a fabulous performance, making the character Angie’s loneliness palpable, her need for connection heartbreaking." Broadway World

The Bed Trick
by Keiko Green
"The four actors sparkle with their entertaining portrayals of teens – especially when Harriet jumps up and down and cries “Oh, my gosh!” with gleeful innocence. This is especially enjoyable if you caught Tennant’s devastating performance last year as the hard-edged Yelena in 21ten’s Uncle Vanya, a character that’s a galaxy away from this touchingly goofy college kid.."

Uncle Vanya
by Anton Chekhov
Translated by Stepan Simek
"Chekhov's timeless meditation on wasted purpose and unrequited love comes to life this Spring in a bold new production featuring Angie Tennant, Hailey Houser, Doren Elias, Jacqueline MacDonald, Kathleen Worley, Joseph Bertot, and Ted Rooney as the titular Vanya" - Broadway World
The Theatre Company
California
by Trish Harnetiaux
Harnetiaux’s unconventional play is an innocent road trip turned alternate reality mind-bender set entirely in a family car. Basically. But what if a story can split, just like the atom? An intermittent AM radio signal in eastern Oregon might give way to coexisting realities on the road from Spokane, Washington to Huntington Beach, California.
