JENNA DIOGUARDI

is a creative producer, writer and Obie & Drama Desk-award winning performer. She made her Off-Broadway debut originating the role of #13 in Sarah DeLappe's The Wolves.

The short film adaptation of her autobiographical solo play, Nipples for Christmas - the true story of her time as a 27-year-old breast cancer patient - was a selection for the inaugural Tribeca x Lilly Vital Stories Creative Summit . The film is currently in pre-production, slated to shoot in NYC this fall with director Kim Blanck.

Jenna is a creative producer and video editor, with extensive experience working with brands such as Citizens of Humanity, Eberjey, and Dose. She co-produced, starred in, and edited Smooch the Tucc, a web series chronicling Stanley Tucci’s Searching for Italy, and was the co-creator and co-host of two live shows: The Best Storytelling Show (we promise) and The Mister Rogers Variety Hour.

Jenna’s storytelling has been featured on The Story Collider podcast as well as on stage in several dimly lit venues across New York. You can read her musings on her Substack, Nipples for Christmas, LLC.

She proudly holds her BFA from NYU Tisch, Playwrights Horizons Theater School.
