WE ARE THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE THIS YEAR’S
MASTERCLASS GUEST ARTIST FOR OUR SUMMER PROGRAM:

Jeanna de Waal

Jeanna is best known for originating the role of Princess Diana in the Broadway production of Diana: The Musical for which she also received a Drama Desk nomination. On Broadway, de Waal starred in Kinky Boots (Lauren) and American Idiot (Heather). She originated the role of Dawn in Waitress, by Sara Bareilles, and the role of Mary Barrie in Finding Neverland, both directed by Diane Paulus at American Repertory Theater.

Off-Broadway, de Waal co-starred in the two-hander play Orwell in America (59E59 Theater) and played Chris Hargensen in MCC Theatre’s reimagined production of Broadway’s Carrie. She made her West End debut in the Queen musical We Will Rock You. Other notable credits include the National Tour of Wicked (Glinda) and The Rocky Horror Show (Janet) at The Old Globe. She is the founder of Broadway Weekends, which hosts annual theater summer camps for adults, led by Broadway artists.

“I'm so excited to work with the students at LIMTF this summer…Programs like this are such an important part of helping young performers build confidence, curiosity, and a deeper connection to storytelling and artistry. I can't wait to spend time exploring their work with them."
