Mackenzie Jones
“It would be easy to compare Mackenzie’s presence to Joni Mitchell, her allure to Naomi Watts, her work ethic to Edie Falco but all of these would be doing a disservice to Mackenzie. She is, without hesitation or doubt, an asset beyond compare. I invite you to work with her, only then will you get it. Hire her and thank me later.”
After growing up in CHICAGO and living in NYC for 8 years, I am excited to be back in the city that raised me.
Since returning, I’ve had the privilege of working with some incredible theatre companies…
As an Artistic Associate with American Blues Theatre, I’ve appeared in numerous readings and their beloved production of It’s A Wonderful Life: Live in Chicago
Had the pleasure of collaborating with Refracted Theatre Company, both as an actor and as an Administrative Producer
I am also a proud founding members of afterdog, a theatrical collective dedicated to producing devised and immersive pieces.
My feature film work includes a co-starring role in OMRO HEIST. (recent Best Feature winner at Milwaukee International Film Festival)
Booked commercials for major brands such as NERDS, Squatty Potty, and Maytag.
Theatrical reviews have described me as being filled “with wit and beautiful lyricism” (Rutland Herald) and being “lots of fun to hate.” (Cape Gazette)
Ultimately, I am drawn to the wonderful complexities of the human experience. Let’s face it, humans are weird, the world is weird, and being an artist gives me a chance to celebrate all the intricacies of that existence by exploring the relationship between performer and audience.
