DEAN TIERNEY

I'm Dean Tierney and I'm a New York based performer, playwright, and producer. I recently graduated from Fordham University with a BA in Theatre Performance. During my time there I got to work with incredible directors like Laura Butler Rivera, Joel Kirk, Kevin Hourigan, Regina Taylor, JT Friedman, Elena Araoz, Matt J. Dickson, Taibi Magar, and Tomer Adorian.

Born and raised in Greenville, SC, I attended South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities for two years of conservatory style actor training, and I studied jazz guitar with Steve Watson at the Greenville Fine Arts Center.

Theatre is a multidisciplinary field. There are many hats to wear and roles to fill, onstage and off. Sometimes I just put on a hat and say stuff. Sometimes I put on a hat and sing stuff. Other times I imagine people putting on hats and then write down what they're saying. Occasionally I make people wear hats and make them say stuff. Sometimes I make them say stuff I've imagined! 

I like to think that I can tackle any task that the theatre throws at me. I have experience working in electrics at Fordham, and an interest in lighting design. I've been the Music Choreographer and gotten a composer credit. I have a sound cloud (not theatre but i'm still gonna plug it!)
