New Yorker Joanne Halev received the prestigious Bistro Award in 2020 for her much-lauded debut show, “Like a Perfumed Woman,” which premiered in 2019 at the Birdland Theatre. A “sophisticated songbird,” Joanne was said to “charm, move, and delight audiences" and has been described as “a talented performer with imagination, mindfulness, and innate elegance.”

She worked in global fragrance development at Firmenich, and in magazine publishing during the ’80s and ’90s at prestigious publications like The New Yorker and W. Joanne was also a co-founding Actor/Teacher of The Creative Arts Team, an educational theatre company originally in residence at New York University and now at CUNY. There she performed in and helped to develop plays addressing topical and social issues for underserved students in New York City’s public schools.
