ArtsMemphisTV presents Jenny Odle Madden

Jenny Madden is an actor, producer, and teacher living in working in Memphis.

Born and raised in Memphis, Jenny began dabbling in theatre in High School and soon realized that it was a passion that she wanted to pursue. She attended the University of Memphis where she was able to study theatre both in the states and abroad in Europe, and where she would meet some of the collaborators she still works with today.

After college, Jenny was offered an internship at Playhouse on the Square, which she gladly accepted. It was during this time that, working at Playhouse and exploring other theatre throughout the city, she fell in love with the notion of "ensemble."

In the early to mid nineties Jenny (along with her collaborators) began to adapt Southern short stories into plays and was soon touring them around the world. Unbeknownst to them at the time, this was the beginning of Voices of the South - to date, Voices of the South has produced 30 new works.

In addition to being a co-founder and Executive Producer for Voices of the South, Jenny is also Director of Plays at St. Mary's School, where she tries to instill in the kids an appreciation for the art of ensemble and improve. States Jenny, "Theatre is a safe community environment where you can do anything and be accepted for that.
