Jo Berenson

Within a few years she completed producing training at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts while advancing toward an MBA at NYU Stern, grounding her practice in both creative production and the business of entertainment. Early credits include stage management and producing at Playwrights Horizons Theater School, followed by competitive internships in development at Rebelle Media and in production and post-production at Bungalow Media + Entertainment. She then served as Project Manager and Creative Executive at Hero Artists and Hero Entertainment, contributing to development, production, and theatrical-release work. Parallel film credits include Unit Production Manager on the independent short Where The Walls Fall Over for The Odyssey Project, as well as production and on-set roles on the shorts The Demon of Parce Manor and Gutter Soup. Her most recent and most visible achievement is producing Awaiting Evaluation, the one-act absurdist comedy written and directed by Alex Grech under Berenson and Grech Productions. The play received its world premiere at the New York Theatre Festival in June 2026 at Teatro LATEA on the Lower East Side, with performances on 22, 24, and 27 June. Immediately afterward it made its European debut at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running from 5 to 29 August at the Thistle Theatre, Greenside at Riddles Court. That sequence New York festival premiere followed by a full Fringe engagement in the same season marks a clear step from supporting roles on other people’s projects to originating and delivering an original stage work across two markets.
