Isabel Keating
Versatile actress Isabel Keating's film roles include work with directors James Schamus, Robert Pulcini, Shari Springer Berman, and Vadim Perelman, among others. Her films include Indignation (2016) (with Logan Lerman, Sarah Gadon and Tracy Letts), which had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2016 (nationwide July 29, 2016); The Life Before Her Eyes (2007) (with Uma Thurman and Evan Rachel Wood), and The Nanny Diaries (2007) (with Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans). Television episodic work includes The Path (2016) (guest star, opposite Rockmond Dunbar (NBC/Hulu)), as well as 3 lbs. (2006) (guest star opposite Stanley Tucci (CBS)), and Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001) (guest star opposite Vincent D'Onofrio (NBC)). She provided her voice for the Emmy award-winning PBS American Masters Judy Garland: By Myself (2004). Isabel was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, where she demonstrated an early aptitude for the theatre. She has stated in the press that her parents' distinctive personalities instilled in her an appreciation for character (her father was a native Savannahian, her mother Spanish). She lived many years in Europe, and has said that it was her interest in foreign languages (she speaks several fluently) and her years of travel that gave her necessary life experience prior to beginning her professional career. For her work on stage, Isabel was nominated for the Tony Award and received the Drama Desk Award and the Theatre World Award for her performance as Judy Garland, starring opposite Hugh Jackman in The Boy from Oz on Broadway, for which she was also nominated for the Drama League and Outer Critics Circle Awards. She won the Helen Hayes Award for her performance in Tom Stoppard's Indian Ink, and has been a finalist for the prestigious Audie Award for audio narration. Isabel also appeared on Broadway with Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, F. Murray Abraham, Stockard Channing, Rupert Grint and Megan Mullally, in Terrence McNally's hit It's Only a Play, directed by Jack O'Brien. She also starred on Broadway in Hairspray (directed by Mr. O'Brien), Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark (music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge, directed by Julie Taymor), and Enchanted April (directed by Michael Wilson). Off-Broadway, she appeared opposite Jennifer Westfeldt in Cusi Cram's A Lifetime Burning for Primary Stages, and with Atlantic Theatre Company, Ensemble Studio Theatre, Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre, and, notably, Watermark Theatre's U.S. premiere of Lucinda Coxon's Waiting at the Water's Edge, directed by Nela Wagman. She has appeared across the country at the Old Globe, Williamstown Theatre Festival, Long Wharf, the O'Neill Center, Paper Mill Playhouse, and more theatres, in plays by Oscar Wilde, Anton Chekhov, Tony Kushner, Donald Margulies, and many others.
