Jennifer Lee Crowl is an actress, musical theater performer, and choreographer. She was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Belle Vernon, a small suburb located twenty-five miles south east of Pittsburgh. Her early performing opportunities were encouraged by her mother, who was a professor of music therapy at a local community college. Jennifer studied dance at Katy Lyon Dance Center in Uniontown, PA. She attended college at West Virginia University and received a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Part of her college tuition was funded through a dance scholarship with the WVU Ballet Ensemble.Jennifer turned down a full-time position teaching third grade in North Carolina after graduating because she landed a job dancing in the Oktoberfest show at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. Other performing gigs followed including a bus-and-truck tour of The Will Rogers Follies and regional theater appearances in Singin' in the Rain, George M!, and Anything Goes. She moved to New York City in 1998 and performed as a Radio City Rockette in the Christmas Spectacular. She received her Actors Equity Card performing in the ensemble of Crazy for You at Paper Mill Playhouse, which was filmed for PBS Great Performances. That opportunity allowed her to be introduced to Susan Stroman, the esteemed Broadway choreographer and director. Her musical theater career advanced with much debt of gratitude to Ms. Stroman, who cast her in the very first National Tour of The Producers, the new Mel Brooks Musical. Jennifer was in the ensemble and a dance captain in that tour for two and a half years. Her Broadway debut arrived in another Mel Brooks Musical: Young Frankenstein.Jennifer earned her SAG card by dancing in the 2005 Universal remake of The Producers. She can be seen in two production numbers in the film: I Wanna Be A Producer (girl in pearls) and Along Came Bialy (little old lady dancing with a walker in Central Park).Jennifer's latest film credits include Arbitrage (receptionist) and The Other Woman (shopper).
