ABOUT JODY

Jody Smith Harper has been called “an ingenue with bite” and “a star presence that could command the stage even without her show-stopping voice.” Jody's specialties include musical theatre, Shakespeare, and advanced dialect work. Her current dream roles are Jenna in Waitress and the titular role in Hamlet, although she most wants to originate a role on stage and explore acting for television. Jody has a passion for helping develop new works.

In her off time she can be found cooking elaborate feasts for friends, reading Stephen King, and writing short stories. Jody lives in Astoria, NYC with her wife, the writer Armelle González Harper. Their wedding at curtain call of The Prom on Broadway was covered by the New York Times and many other international media outlets.
