Highlights

Finalist - Best Supporting Actress 2022, and Best Actress 2021 in the Cracked Actors Theatre Summer Readings...
“One of the stand-outs was Janine McGrath’s enchanting performance as Idylla in (Lourdes) Zamanillo’s ‘Memorials’…She inhabited this character entirely and imbued her with strength, empathy and multiple layers of integrity and character… outstanding contribution to Summer Reading 2021.” Matthew R. Walsh -
Janine was an absolute pleasure to work with. I was so thankful for her constant insight, encouragement and commitment. She brought so much to her character and was able to bring the story to life. Directing Janine was engaging and rewarding from rehearsals to shooting...I would highly recommended Janine for any acting role. She blew me away! Can't wait to work with you again. Izrael Little, Director - Unmade.

I was able to work with Janine as an actor for a role in a web-series. She has a positive attitude backed up by a genuine disposition in her acting. She was a great addition to set and I really enjoyed working with her. Definitely recommend her. Casey Long, Director - What’s Left.

Janine was fantastic to work with. She went above and beyond what was expected and helped the crew out when we needed it. She made everyone feel welcome and her skills were incredible. Dia Taylor, Director - Music Video.
