  ******************
ABOUT EILEEN: Eileen is a native of New York City where her love for the theater was planted and sown. While still in high school, her family moved to California. She auditioned for San Francisco's School of the Arts and was accepted into the vocal, dance, and acting specialties. In making the difficult decision to choose just one concentration, she finally settled on Acting by virtue of its audition being the most challenging for her. She then received her BFA in Acting from Boston University's School of Theater Arts and reestablished herself in New York where she continues to perform as well as write. Eileen is a founding member of Jaradoa Theater, a company which seeks to create great theater in an environment where artists thrive, as well as serve through the community through performance-based outreach and partnerships with relief organizations. She lives in Manhattan with her cat, Oscar. ***************** Eileen just concluded another successful run with Jaradoa Theater as the lead role of Piper in the thriller The Small of Her Back! "Rivera's performance is assured and enticing, and despite her characters' psychoses she still manages to draw the audience in."- The British Theatre Guide Eileen in The Small of Her Back
****************** Reviewers weigh in on Serenade! "Eileen Rivera has a brilliant comic turn as Hannah's snarky bedridden aunt." "Eileen Rivera tickles as Hannah's acerbic invalid aunt..." "Eileen Rivera [is] terse and hilarious..." "An impatiently sharp-tongued, sick aunt of Hannah is played with wonderful vinegar
and brisk comic timing by Eileen Rivera." "Eileen Rivera has a nice way with a line as several characters, especially Hannah's crusty, eccentric aunt." Eileen with Joshua Henry in Jaradoa Theater's production of Serenade, by Rachel Sheinkin and Nils Olaf Dolven ************** |
