Regina Ippolito is a storyteller.
She loves doughnuts but has celiac disease, so she hasn’t had a good gluten free doughnut in a really long time.
She also loves to sing, act, bake, write poetry, and eat all kinds of potatoes.
She has kept a journal since she was 7 years old and has saved each and every single one of them. Most of her life is written down.
When she was little, she started to accompany her Mom to choir practice, and as she got older, she became heavily involved herself. She actively participated in choirs from elementary school to college, and she still sings weddings, funerals and Sunday Mass at St. Denis Church in Manasquan NJ.
In addition to her involvement in choir, she began to act in musicals, and in high school she did her very first show at the Springlake Community Theater in Springlake NJ. She continued to take part in the musicals at the theater through college, and eventually she made her debut as Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins.
Shortly after the show, she decided to take the leap and move NYC. She enrolled in a Six Week Program for Film and Theater at T. Schreiber Studios in Chelsea, where she studied with Bob Verlaque, Page Clements, and Carol Reynolds.
From there she continued with their On Camera Master classes with Peter and Diane Miner, Commercial Acting classes with Bill Coelius, as well as multiple Song and Monologue Interpretation classes with the incomparable Betty Buckley. She has also continued voice lessons at KBC Studio’s in Woodbridge NJ, with Kelly Birgfeld-CuyKendall.
This past October (2021) she organized her very first benefit concert, and all proceeds went to Oceans Harbor House. Harbor House is the only shelter for teens in Ocean County NJ. Regina and her family have been volunteering and supporting Harbor House, for the past 20 years. With the help of family and friends, she raised 1200 dollars. In November, (for the first time ever!) she wrote and performed an original song, which she sang with The Wiz Bangs, at The Miller Center for the Performing Arts in Redding PA.
She is currently in the 2-year Meisner Program at Baron Brown Studios, where she has studied with Anne Dremann, Lisa Milillo and DW Brown.
Regina continues to pursue her passion of telling stories and connecting with others through art. She is excited for what the days have in store ,and couldn’t be more grateful and humble to be able to have the opportunities she has been blessed with thus far.
She hopes to change the world through her love for the art, and she knows that no matter how challenging in may seem, little by little, day by day, she will get to exactly where she needs to be.
