Welcome! Are you in the right spot? Is this the Jennifer you were looking for? If so, welcome! If not, I’ll try to keep you entertained while you’re here.

I am a teacher/director/wifey/mom to a puppy. When I was a kid, I thought I’d be an actor on Broadway by now with a Tony under my belt and a flat in Manhattan and Paris and I’d be dating a Yankee. My life is real close to that.... I won an Emptie (our local community theatre’s award, everyone gets one, it’s basically like a “thanks for participating”), I lived in Manhattan for a few years - well, Queens (which is REALLY different), and I’ve visited Paris and was told in the Eiffel Tower by the most handsome man in the world, that I was loved. He’s not a Yankee but he looks damn good in the outfit. 

It’s always good to keep pride in check. Enjoy these quotes:

“Great casting!” - a “compliment” from an audience member after my recent show. Like all I did was cast it and turn the lights on and off.

“Directing is 90% casting” (see comments above)

“Do we have to write that down?” - an intro to acting student’s response to my rousing story of working with Arthur Miller

“We couldn’t have done it without you.” - an actor from a show I recently  directed. Ahem, I directed - like, put in 600 hrs. a week along with blood, sweat, and many tears. Of course you couldn’t have done it without me!

“Directing isn’t something you have to like study, it’s just common sense.”

    -a senior at FPU casually enlightened me while I was in rehearsal

“Well what do you know, after 12 years of doin’ this stuff, you can still learn something new.”

    -a student from my intro to acting who is all of 20 years old.

...and before honor, comes humility

    -Proverbs 15:33
