Trained at Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts, Jovani performed at Shakespeare's Globe in London in As You Like It and Julius Caesar, where he participated in a workshop with Mark Rylance. He's appeared at Theater for the New City, Hudson Valley Shakespeare, Alley Repertory Theater, Boise Contemporary Theater, and The Spot, with a favorite role being Oscar in Sweat by Lynn Nottage. He gravitates toward characters wrestling with internal conflicts—often the underdogs or the least expected.
Beyond acting, Jovani embraces the full scope of theater-making as a sound designer, producer, director, and marketer. Alongside his wife, he co-founded Little Branch, a theater company dedicated to thought-provoking, community-driven storytelling that creates meaningful connections both on and off the stage.

Co-Founder & Co-Director
Little Branch is excited to share that we successfully completed our inaugural production! Honey Brown Eyes by Stefanie Zadravec was a meaningful debut for our company and resonated deeply with Boise's refugee community.
Now we're thrilled to announce our second production: Sanctuary City by Martyna Majok, running May 7-17, 2026. This powerful play continues our mission of asking important and relevant questions that challenge our community in thoughtful ways.

Building a theater from the ground up. This includes learning how to market, how to budget, and how to literally build. Currently constructing the set of Sanctuary City in our own backyard—a hands-on education in every facet of theater-making.
