EILEEN RIVERA

Welcome! I grew up in Queens, NY and so enjoyed seeing Broadway shows as a child. My family and I moved to the west coast while I was still in high school, which is where I found my fellow "theater kids." There I performed in community theater and graduated from San Francisco’s School of the Arts. I then received my BFA in Acting from Boston University's School of Theatre and stayed east. I began and nurtured my career back in New York City, fulfilling a childhood dream and instilling myself into the theater community I so admired as a child. I've performed off-Broadway at institutions such as The Public Theater, New York Theatre Workshop, Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, and Ma-Yi Theater Company. My active regional theater career has taken me to Kansas City Repertory Theatre, Baltimore Center Stage, Olney Theatre Center in Maryland, TheatreSquared in Northwest Arkansas, Studio Theatre in DC, and Diversionary Theatre in San Diego, among others. My husband, director Nelson T. Eusebio III, and I frequently collaborate on projects near and dear to our hearts; our short films INS & Outs and Two Weeks have screened around the country and on television.
