Who is Jess?
Jess is a folk artist and educator who creates both performance and tangible art — often at the same time!

She is the Co-Artistic Director of Andy’s Summer Playhouse in Wilton, NH, alongside her brilliant friend SMJ. She earned her MFA in Dramatic Writing from Carnegie Mellon University and her BS in Educational Theatre from NYU. She is a full time tenured teacher in the NYC DOE, and she lives in Brooklyn with her wife and two cats, Buckett and Tubbs.

More About Jess's Work
Jess’s work explores accumulation— of words, of community, of space, of stuff. She spends lots of time collecting, cleaning and categorizing loose parts to be used for larger pieces, built into puppets, or explored by her students in the classroom.
Playwriting is Jess’s first love. She is a LABA Artist Fellow Alum, a Jeffrey Melnick New Playwright Award Nominee been an O’Neill Finalist + Semi-Finalist (x??), a recipient of the Mary Marlin Fisher Award for Excellence in Playwriting, a BAPF Semi-Finalist, a Premiere Stages Semi-Finalist, a Heideman Award finalist, a 24 Plays: Nationals alum, and a Theater Masters alum.
