Well, 2020 was a year.
Hello dear visitor, Jennifer here. Thank you for visiting my website! You may be wondering, “Jennifer hasn’t updated her website since May 2, 2019, what happened? Is she okay? Has she quit the business? Did the business quit her?” And to respond I will say, “Yes, I’m okay - no, I haven’t quit - and no it didn’t quit me.”
Twenty Twenty was a profoundly affecting year for every person on the planet. I was extremely lucky to stay safe, housed, and even partially employed, though not in the performing arts until late 2020. I threw myself into keeping the cafe I assistant manage alive and open through the pandemic, but also found artistic solace in producing a few paintings and drawings for friends, family, and even some new acquaintances.
In the fall of 2020, I reentered the performing arts arena, and was delighted to work with Harlequin Productions on their radio play production of Dracula, directed by Corey D. McDaniel, from the Orson Welles adaptation.
In spring of 2021, I joined Theatre22’s cast of their radio play adaption of E.M. Forster’s short story, The Celestial Omnibus, directed and adapted by Julie Beckman.
Theatre22 retained my painting services to create original artwork for their Season 7 poster art, and I reentered in-person theater work by painting their set and scenic elements for their outdoor summer production of Alice in Wonderland. ArtsWest then took me on as Scenic Charge for their 2021 production of We’ve Battled Monsters Before with book, music, and lyrics by Justin Huertas.
Thanks for keeping in touch, more news to come soon.
All the best, Jennifer
