ABOUT ME
A Brief but Comprehensive History
Jack D’Emilio is a New York based actor. I'm Jack D'Emilio, actually - writing these very words you're reading right now. I was born and raised in Philadelphia, so I try to embody the spirit of brotherly love wherever I go, especially onstage. During my studies at Manhattan School of Music, I was lucky enough to be a part of the casts of Spring Awakening (dir. Chloe Treat), And the World Goes ‘Round (dir. Alex Sanchez), and Where’s Charley? (Charley Wykeham; dir. Catie Davis). I have also spent much time as a student and Artistic Intern for The Performing Arts Project, training as a part of a new generation of bold, compassionate artists. I believe in the power of theatre to connect us all through our shared experiences of joy, pain, and everything in between. When I'm not onstage you can find me picking up shifts at my family's ristorante in Philly or planning my next move with my wonderful partner Talitha and our tiny puppy, Koda. Most recently, I finished up a contract at The Waterfront Playhouse in Key West, FL and have finally returned to NYC, ready and eager to start the next chapter of this journey. Check back soon for my first onscreen role in Speck, a movie written and directed by up-and-coming director Justin D'Emilio. Thanks for reading!
