Narrator

Dina Pearlman

Dina Pearlman says, “After 4 years at Carnegie Mellon University, I came to New York to pursue acting professionally. I languished in sorrow and Fritos for a year and half, enduring a steady stream of rejection, broken occasionally by an appearance in a sparsely attended showcase production of an obscure play, somewhere obscure.

One day, after having received a particularly painful rejection, I decided to get up off my tuchis and head down to Gladys’ Comedy Room to try my hand at stand-up comedy. I wrote my act on the 2nd avenue bus whilst travelling between 81st and 53rd streets, had two gin and tonics, got up on the stage and killed. I then decided that while acting would always be my first love, stand-up was a way to get my performing jones out in the meantime.

Shortly thereafter I landed a sketch comedy pilot on ABC, followed by some regional theater, followed by a Spike Lee movie, followed by more theater and TV and so it went. Somehow or another, this ol’ goofus from New Jersey had herself an acting career.

Narrator for the Anna Strong Chronicles, Kris Longknife series, the Dock Five Universe, Cece Caruso mysteries, along with some nonfiction.”
