“an excellent Jerreme Rodriguez”
Sean Collier · TABLE Magazine · July 27, 2026 ↗
“Jerreme Rodriguez gives us a remarkably versatile Caliban, playing the ill-served son of Sycorax with the spirit of an eager revolutionary and the soul of a reluctant poet.”
Timothy Ruppert · ’Burgh Vivant · July 22, 2026 ↗
From Quantum Theatre
“Jerreme has dazzled in demanding, often very physical roles for Quantum and other Pittsburgh companies, and is forging a national career.”
Additional reviews of the production
The Current War — more press & photographs
“We watch him transforming from a wild-eyed murderer to a repentant, decent human being while his appeal winds through the courts.”
“Amid the captains of industry and their sidekicks, he becomes Everyman.”

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari — performance excerpt
In black and white, Cesare approaches through a corridor toward a close-up. The sequence cuts to an overhead architectural view and a flying movement, ending close to his face.

Writing & Directing
Two productions
The Watchmaker’s Song
Co-Artistic Director · Writer · Sound Designer · The Watchmaker
“the light created by people coming together during the darkest time of the year.”From my director’s note
Undead
Writer · Voice-over · Sound design · Dancer
The Watchmaker’s Song — inside the work
A reimagining of The Nutcracker centered on the Watchmaker’s fading memories and the family who gathers around him. Marie brings the holiday celebration to her uncle’s home, where music, movement, and familiar faces offer moments of connection.
My contributions bring together writing, directing, sound design, and performance as The Watchmaker. The drive-in adaptation places care and community at the heart of the familiar holiday story.
Writing and directing contributions: 2020. This describes my contributions, not the full production credits. The quotation is from my director’s note, signed as Co-Artistic Director.
Undead — my contributions
For Undead, I wrote and performed the voice-over and co-developed the visual and sonic world of our section of the piece. My collaborator and I established a distinctive spider-inspired look for our characters, sourced and assembled the costumes, and brought that concept into performance. I also created the sound design for our portion and performed as a dancer.
