Some more about me …
-
From a small town in Maryland to now living it up in big city New York, I’ve always had a love of performing — from performing “at home musicals” with my brother for our parents. Since then I’ve thrown myself into learning anything and everything I could about theatre. Including singing, dancing, theatrical marketing, songwriting, and so on.
I received my BFA in drama with a concentration in musical theatre from New York University, Tisch School of the Arts.
Outside of theatre you can find me playing my cello, attempting to learn more on my banjo, cooking, out for coffee, and always being an avid Swiftie.

"The mezzo voice of sophomore Rachel Jancarek, who plays Ariel, the youngest daughter of King Triton, shows a natural versatility that not only allows her to develop an intimacy with the full range of her character’s emotions but also inescapably draws the ears of the audience" - Paul Katula
"Jancarek’s portrayal of Ariel is comparable to any you might see on a professional stage. She has poise, charm and a wonderful voice. She got a standing ovation, and rightly so, for her rendition of the popular song, “Part of Your World.”" - Susan Brall
"Jancarek creates a dynamic character which has layers and levels ... Her voice is stellar for “I Speak Six Languages”, which is not only a showcase of her vocal skills but her demonstrable athletic skills which includes a plethora of actions, not limited to splits, jumps, soccer-foot-work, volleyball movements, and various dance styles. With a sassy attitude and another peek at the disquieted and disturbing homelife of a child prodigy, Jancarek really gives this character refreshing new life." - Amanda Gunther
