Jordyn Schaefer

Jordyn is a passionate creative who has trained in acting, singing, and dancing since childhood. After many years of competing in the performing arts and participating in workshops, master classes, and exams, Jordyn was selected as one of the top ten from MLA’s Call for Cast 2021 Audition Process for intake.

Jordyn has continued her professional acting journey since completing her BA in Visual Communications in 2022 at the Open Window Institute. She is excited about what is to come, having already enjoyed roles in the short film, indie film, corporate web series, and dubbing industries. Jordyn most recently played Lisa in Going Postal, an upcoming film by Star Films Co. Notably, she also took part in the short film Lil_ith, in which she played the role of Samantha, and starred in two seasons of Popcorn Training’s cyber security Mini-series as Una Smith.

Since attending the Stageworx School of Performing Arts, Jordyn’s affinity for musical theatre intensified after training under Bryan Schimmel, Rowan Bakker and Gemma Marinus. At the 2022 Stageworx Awards, Jordyn received the Lillian Cross Future Star Award. During last year's festive season, Jordyn worked in Sandton City as a cast member in Momo’s Magical Adventure. She performed as Rocky in Paw Patrol Live: Race to The Rescue at Emperors Palace earlier this year and recently concluded her work as a supporting lead vocalist in Meatloaf: The Rebel Ride, directed by Tim Le Roux and starring Yahto Kraft. Jordyn is keenly anticipating The Addams Family Musical, in which she has been cast as Wednesday Addams, which will be taking place at the old Fugard Theatre (Now the Home Coming Center) in Cape Town.

With an LTCL qualification through Trinity College London in Musical Theatre, experience in professional and student-based performing, and a driven, impassioned, and generous disposition, Jordyn is one to watch as she continues her professional journey on screen and on stage.
