Jen Namoff Launches Namoff & Company - A Full-Service Talent Management & Production Company

Jen Namoff, the industry veteran with more than 15 years of experience, today announced the formation of Namoff & Company, a bi-coastal, full-service Talent Management & Production Company representing clients across television, film, music, and theater. John Bautista and Doug Middlebrook join Namoff in this new venture as Director of Operations/Talent Manager and Creative Director/Producer, respectively. Among Namoff & Company's roster of artists are Tituss Burgess, Tammy Blanchard, Katrina Lenk, Gabrielle Carrubba, Kelly McCreary, Solea Pfeiffer, Kuhoo Verma, Nkeki Obi-Melekwe, Ben Ahlers, Sasha Allen, Alison Luff, Julia Mattison, and many more.

In the newly formed company's mission statement, the three principals say, "We are inspired by artists who push boundaries, guiding them to reach their creative potential in every arena. We are committed to telling stories that are relevant, inclusive, and forward-thinking."

About the announcement, Namoff added, "For the past fifteen years, I've been lucky enough to be a part of this incredible industry, soaking up every lesson that has come my way. A mentor once told me, 'The best advice I can give you is to be curious about new opportunity, and if it challenges you, you're in the right place.' To all of the mentors along the way, the colleagues who have made me better, the clients who make work fun - and the muses who make it essential- this is because of you."

Namoff's decade-and-a-half-long career in entertainment has spanned casting, artist representation, talent management and production in both New York and Los Angeles. Her production credits include How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying (Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Darren Criss, and Nick Jonas), Fiddler On the Roof (starring Danny Burstein), Submissions Only, The Last Five Years (Starring Anna Kendrick & Jeremy Jordan), Lisa Howard's debut album (Songs of Innocence & Experience), Carrie at Manhattan Class Company, and Into The Woods at The Public Theatre starring Amy Adams & Jessie Mueller. Namoff has been nominated for two Tony Awards. Prior to Namoff & Company, she was the co-founder of Soffer/Namoff Entertainment.
