Bianca LaVerne Jones
I direct, act, and teach from one belief: every artist has a deeper, braver version of themselves waiting to break through. My work is about unlocking that.

Welcome — I’m Bianca LaVerne Jones

Embarking on a vibrant journey as a practitioner of theater, television, and film, my purpose is to delve into, embody, and illuminate the narratives of intricate and captivating communities. 

Through a rich tapestry of directing and acting, I honed my craft at the North Carolina School of the Arts, SUNY Purchase Acting Conservatory, Yale School of Drama (acting), and the prestigious London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (directing).

Remarkably, I proudly stand as the first African American female in the United States to attain a Master's in Directing from LAMDA.

Rooted in the directing and acting legacy of my father, Herman LeVern Jones, I am on a mission to amplify the voices of the unheard and unseen within the realm of theater.

I warmly invite those who share my commitment to storytelling to connect and collaborate in the captivating worlds of theater, television, or film. Please feel free to drop me a note; together, let's weave narratives that resonate and endure.

What we believe in

Bianca LaVerne Jones — a director, actress, and educator who knows how to pull the truth out of an actor with precision, humor, and heart.

Coaching & Classes

Actors come to me when they’re ready to grow — not just in skill, but in confidence, clarity, and artistic identity.

The first African American woman to earn an MA in Directing. Craft and legacy are the backbone of my work.
