Jacynth Apora

Jacynth Apora (she/her/they/them) is from Englishtown, New Jersey. She is a proud Asian-American. She is a Filipina and is Chinese. She aspires to learn the languages, live in the Philippines, visit China, and make Philippine and Chinese art. When she was four years old, she watched Philippine teleseryes and then had one woman shows to recreate them in her parents’ bedroom, playing every character, because her little brother wasn’t born yet to play with. Jacynth is also excited to further her career in music and writing, dabble in other forms of art, and build a stronger online presence. Her favorite roles include being Conrade in Much Ado About Nothing on the Shakespeare’s Globe through the Rutgers MGSA’s program in London, and being Benvolio in R+J at Rutgers MGSA. What makes them happiest is making people feel loved and bigger than themselves, which is why they love to endeavor in all kinds of art. They root their passion for acting and the arts in the way it all makes them feel at home and in the way people receiving their art can feel less alone and find a home in it too.
