Actress. Musician. Storyteller. Dangerously present.

Renée Bang is an actress, singer, and musician known for her commanding presence, emotional precision, and a career shaped by risk, rigor, and longevity.

She made her Broadway debut in the first international tour of Grand Hotel – The Musical, directed by nine-time Tony Award® winner Tommy Tune, and later appeared on Broadway in Stephen Sondheim’s Company, directed by John Doyle, performing the iconic role of Joanne while playing saxophone onstage.

Her work spans Broadway, Off-Broadway, regional theatre, film, and television, with notable appearances at Ensemble Studio Theatre, the Weston Playhouse, and ReVision Theatre. On screen, she has appeared in Blue Bloods (CBS), Katie Fforde, and a range of independent films and original projects.

Renée is drawn to complex women — witty, authoritative, emotionally charged — characters who understand power, contradiction, and restraint. Her performances favor intelligence over exposition and intimacy over spectacle.

She is the founder and creative director of [the collective], a multidisciplinary creation studio based in Asbury Park, NJ, and is currently developing 54 – The Musical, a full-length jukebox production inspired by the legend of Studio 54.

A Danish citizen fluent in Swedish and conversational in French, Renée is also a multi-instrumentalist (piano, flute, saxophone, ukulele). When not working, she can often be found near the ocean — where attention, patience, and listening still matter.

She knows exactly when to lean in — and when to let the silence do the work.
