Hot off the Press
Just found out that a film I have a hilarious supporting role in has been been officially selected to be in the Chicago Horror Film Festival in September! I play Gloria in DEADLY DEALS, produced by Spoltz Productions.
Excited to share that next up for me theatrically is working as the Linda Loman U/S in DEATH OF A SALESMAN with Gwydion Theatre Company, in residence at the Greenhouse Theater Center, 10/2-10/26. Happy to be working with this wonderful theatre company again.
In August I was blessed to work on two feature films. I filmed a leading role in MY APOCALYPSE with Cantilever Films and I filmed the supporting role of Mara in the thriller, LOG 15 with Derelyct Films. They are both now in post production.
Earlier this summer I was blessed to appear in a hilarious episode for the ONION NEWS NETWORK, entitled, "Drunk Fireworks". I play Stella, the next door neighbor...lol.
Just finished a wonderfully successful sold out run & extension, performing as Mrs. Bennett in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE for Inkwell Arts. We closed August 17th. Blessed.
On Wednesday, February 5th my Chicago Fire episode aired. I had a costar role. Blessed.
Theatre News____________
Had a wonderfully successful run as Professor Cronke and Mrs. Chadwick in WITHIN A SHADOW with Red Theater at The Den Theatre in Chicago September 5th-October 13th. Third Coast Review wrote: "Jeanne Scurek plays Professor Cronke, that sociology professor who seems to be at every university. It was a flashback to my sociology professor who was eccentric and deeply absorbed in empirical data. Scurek has that edge of weirdness in her portrayal that gave me a flashback to freshman year--in a good way." and WIS was selected as one of WBEZ's Chicago's "10 don't miss plays in September" Blessed.
On August 4th, 2024 I had the extreme honor of going on for the Nurse in ROMEO & JULIET at Oak Park Festival Theatre! (I worked with them from early June - August 17th as the understudy for not only the Nurse, but also Lady Capulet and Lady Montague.)

In July I was delighted to work for two days at Rec Room Studios on dubbing for the feature film, THE QURAN, which I filmed a leading role in early last year. It is currently in post production.
In November I had the privilege of filming the role of Susan Tarr in ALEXANDER THE MACKEREL. It was directed by Peter Chen from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is currently in post production.
