About Me 

Bridget Crisonino is a New Jersey born actress who started her career by teaching herself to dance to the stop-and-go tunes of her cousin's piano students while she was being babysat. Thus was born a love for all things artistic. Soon formal training began at the Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey as a member of their Theater School programs. Eventually, Bridget would join Papermill’s traveling performance troops, and would be accepted into their prestigious summer musical theater conservatory programs. Ultimately, Bridget would later return to the theater school program in the capacity of a teaching artist. 

 

After seeing a production of the musical 1776, Bridget decided she was ready to play “pretend” for the rest of her life. Following high school, she was accepted into New York University's Tisch Drama Program where she studied at the New Studio on Broadway. While at NYU, Bridget also pursued a minor at the Stern Business School in the areas of Business, Entertainment, Media, and Technology. At Tisch, Bridget had the fortunate opportunity to study under the direction of such theater icons as Kent Gash, Randy Graff, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Eden Espinosa, Michael McElroy, and Baayork Lee among others.

 

 

Post-graduation has been treating Bridget well as she has begun to book numerous jobs on a variety of television shows and web series. She has also found the opportunity to marry her love of the arts while working with children. An instructor at Dance with Miss Rachel, Bridget teaches dance to children through song and live music; she hopes to instill in them the same love of the arts as she herself has gained over the years.

The principal of true art is not to portray, but to evoke.
