The Artist Behind the Work
Jeannette Srinivasan is a Los Angeles–based actor, singer, mover, and comedian from San Antonio, Texas, whose work spans theater/musicals, new work development, devised performance, and original writing.
Recently, she appeared in original musicals at the Brickhouse Theatre and in The Human Equation at the Two Roads Theatre, and understudied the world premiere of Scene with Cranes at REDCAT. Additional performance credits include I Want a Country, The Water Station, and The Romeo and Juliet Experience. She has also recently performed stand-up comedy at The Groundlings School.
A multidisciplinary artist and creator, Jeannette frequently develops original work that blends storytelling, movement, music, and humor. Her play yellow/blue, inspired by her experience as a “twinless twin,” was presented at the Hollywood Fringe Festival as a scholarship-winning production. Her immersive performance piece Tsipekua transformed CalArts during Día de los Muertos in collaboration with fellow Latin artists.
A first-generation American with Mexican and Indian heritage, Jeannette’s artistic voice is shaped by her multicultural background and personal experiences. Initially drawn to the arts as a shy observer of school productions, she found her path through mentors who encouraged her curiosity and drive. She later studied acting, creative writing, and digital arts at the California Institute of the Arts.
Her work centers on identity, mental health, and humor as tools for connection and healing, approaching performance as a space for bold storytelling and shared humanity.
