Jenny Noa

Thanks for stopping by! In brief, I am a New Jersey girl (think Tom Waits, not Jersey Shore), now living in Northern California. After grad school in Pittsburgh and six winters in Chicago, I spent many years in Los Angeles, doing improv, writing personal essays (and reading them in live shows), and hoping for a career as an actress. I left LA in 2020 for the Bay Area, and with some emotional and physical distance, not to mention a global pandemic, was able to expand on those essays until they were a whole book. Some of those pieces are available here, and they are included in my debut publication, a memoir published in November 2024.
