Jenna Coaches "Salomé" Lead Jessica Chastain

teaching

(Theater run has finished, now in production of 'Salomaybe', the companion docu-drama) Jenna has been intensively training actress Jessica Chastain for her climactic dance performance as Salomé, opposite Al Pacino, opening mid-April at the Wadsworth Theater in Los Angeles. The show, directed by Estelle Parsons, is a reprise of Pacino's Broadway performance starring Marisa Tomei, who, coincidentally, was coached by a mentor of Jenna's, Serena of New York!

Jessica Chastain, who plays Salome with fervor and grace. She is as beautiful as the part calls for, with hands like white butterflies and feet like little white doves, and her Dance of the Seven Veils (done with one veil, to preserve the austerity of the production) is lovely, sensual, and captivating.
