Renée Bang…
Renée Bang is a multifaceted actress, singer, musician, and playwright whose dynamic career spans stage, screen, and music. She made her Broadway debut in the first international tour of Grand Hotel – The Musical, under the direction of nine-time Tony Award® winner Tommy Tune. Other notable roles include “Joanne” and “Sarah” in Stephen Sondheim’s Company, directed by Tony Award® winner John Doyle.

Off-Broadway, Renée has appeared in acclaimed productions such as Secrets of a Soccer Mom, directed by two-time Tony Award® winner Judith Ivey, Lies My Father Told Me directed by Bryna Wasserman, and several works at the Ensemble Studio Theatre, including Horton Foote’s The Midnight Caller and Getting Frankie Married. Regional credits include a standout performance in Spring Awakening at ReVision Theatre and starring roles as Ado Annie in Oklahoma! and Rosa Budd in The Mystery of Edwin Drood at the award-winning Weston Playhouse.

On screen, Renée has guest-starred in the original web series Small Miracles (opposite Judd Hirsch and Kathryn Kates) and co-starred in Blue Bloods (CBS) and Katie Fforde (Helmut Metzger, director). Her film credits include title roles in the viral short Bernadette, etc., Mother Dearest (Evening Film Club Project), and supporting turns in indie favorites Sex Farce and C.I.T.

Renée is the founder and creative director of [the collective], a multidisciplinary creation studio based in Asbury Park, NJ, inspired by the legacy of one of her mentors, Curt Dempster, founder of Ensemble Studio Theatre in New York City. Her artistic development has also been shaped by other esteemed mentors including Fred Kareman (acting), and Joanna Gleason (musical theatre).

She is currently developing 54 – The Musical, a full-length jukebox production based on the legendary Studio 54, with plans for a Broadway premiere.

A Danish citizen fluent in Swedish and conversational in French, Renée is also an accomplished multi-instrumentalist (piano, flute, saxophone, ukulele). Offstage, she’s an active member of the Jersey Shore Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation and is writing her (unauthorized) autobiography—often inspired by time spent cleaning the beach she calls home.
