About Jimmy Nguyen
Jimmy Nguyen is a freelance actor and scenic painter from Omaha, NE. He earned his B.A in Theatre Arts at Doane University. Jimmy was most recently awarded the Irene Ryan Regional Acting Scholarship as part of the Kennedy Center for American Theatre Festival (KCACTF), in which he competed against over 300 college candidates from across the Midwest and won. During summers away from the university, he kept busy with theatre by being in summer theatre companies such as the Black Hills Playhouse in the beautiful Black Hills, South Dakota, where he was part of the acting company as well as a scenic painter. Jimmy has also traveled to Holland, Michigan one summer at Hope Summer Repertory Theatre. It was during this time that he found his voice and passion to tell his story as a minority and an Asian American, as the acting company there primarily highlighted and spotlighted the voices of actors of color. It was the first time he has ever seen a company take those active steps, and he wants to take the time to appreciate and thank Hope Summer Repertory theatre for igniting that passion.
