| Adria Tennor Adria Tennor earned her BFA in stage directing and acting at New York University and Playwrights Horizons Theater School. She is an accomplished actor, writer, filmmaker, and coach. She began her career as an actress, and her first professional job was playing a twelve-year old boy looking at porn in Tompkins Square park in Hal Hartley’s Amateur, which premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes. She works regularly in television and film and is most known for her recurring roles on Mad Men, Mad Dogs, and Greek as well as in the Academy Award winning film, The Artist. To create more work for herself, Adria began writing her own material, performing stand-up early in her career and then spinning her material into a rave-reviewed one-woman show, StripSearch, about finding love and happiness with the help of a 12-foot pole. Another monologue she wrote and performed, Pie in the Sky, was published in the anthology about lust gone wrong – Worst Laid Plans: When Bad Sex Happens to Good People alongside works by Whitney Cummings, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Allison Brie and Laraine Newman. Her directorial debut was a self-penned childhood drama, Cracked, starring Marguerite Moreau, which garnered awards and laurels around the country. Her second film, Pie, starring Jessica Paré, was a favorite on the festival circuit, also garnering awards and laurels internationally. Currently, Adria is workshopping her next solo show, which unveils her journey of self-discovery, resilience, and empowerment as she navigates the patriarchal maze of divorcing a sociopathic narcissist. Alongside her creative work, Adria is a passionate teacher and coach, helping actors refine their auditions, scene work, casting profiles, and more, while guiding executives and entrepreneurs to build confidence, connect authentically, and elevate their public speaking and presenting skills. Her ambition is to create more stories for and about women and to foster opportunities for a diverse point of view in theater, film and television. |
