TV work includes The Blacklist, Girls, Sopranos, Sex & the City, E.R., Providence, Dharma & Greg, Sisters, Law and Order, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Law and Order: Criminal Intent, the crazed Stella Lombard on Days of Our Lives, the Emmy Award–winning Playing for Time with Vanessa Redgrave, and Catch a Rainbow, for which Ms. Bromka herself won an Emmy.
Theater work includes Broadway (The Rose Tattoo, I’m Not Rappaport, Macbeth) and Off-Broadway (Cloud 9, Inadmissible Evidence with Nicol Williamson, and Candide with the National Theatre of the Deaf.) She has played leads at regional theaters across the country, at Long Wharf, Hartford Stage, Center Stage, Actors Theatre of Louisville, ACT/Seattle, O’Neill Playwrights Conference, Shakespeare and Company, McCarter Theatre, Pittsburgh Public Theater, George Street Playhouse, and the Folger Theatre Group, in roles ranging from Much Ado’s Beatrice to Shirley Valentine (outstanding solo performance in New Jersey 1997 – The Star-Ledger.)
After starring as eight First Ladies opposite Rich Little in The Presidents for PBS, she collaborated with Eric H. Weinberger to write the Off-Broadway solo show TEA FOR THREE: Lady Bird, Pat & Betty, which continues to tour the country.
A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Smith College, she has been on the faculty of NYU's Steinhardt School, Smith, and the National Theater Institute, and has taken one-day acting workshops to more than a hundred seventy colleges and prep schools nationwide.
