Janet has enjoyed a multi-faceted career that includes acting, screenwriting, and teaching high school theatre. Happily, she's found that the green room, the classroom and writer's room have plenty in common, and feels lucky to have spent time in all three. While raising her daughter, Janet taught full-time. Now the proud mom of a classical violinist, she is thrilled to be performing again. She can be seen on Apple's upcoming series "Bonneville," and currently appears in the Indie "Peeky" and several award-winning short films. She's guest-starred on top shows like "Pretty Little Liars" and shared the screen with Keke Palmer and Laurence Fishburne in "Akeelah and the Bee." Her stage work includes Off-Broadway, regional and West Coast premieres and a national tour of her solo show "The Ramona Roses," called "exuberant and hilarious" by Daily Variety. Janet also co-wrote the Showtime feature "Bellyfruit," starring Michael Peña. A busy voiceover talent, she had the pleasure of working with showbiz legend Carl Reiner on the award-winning "The Dybbuk" for NPR, and can be heard on many commercials, in animation, audiobooks and podcasts. She is a graduate of Oberlin College and the Drama Studio in London, and the wife of actor Christopher Grove.
