{ TEACHING }

"As a teacher she came to me with a broad knowledge of how to teach theatre to students of different ages. Her style is upbeat, energetic and conscientious of each student’s ability. The have fun in class and continue to grow as actors and people. In my thirteen years as the Director of Education here, she is one of the best teachers I’ve had" 
- Chuck Tuttle, Education Director 

Creative Drama​

PictureTeaching in role, as a reporter at Hogwarts, for a specialty workshop on story-telling during a week-long creative drama class themed around the Harry Potter series.
Jackie particularly enjoys creative drama classes and their ability to bring stories to life while helping students to explore empathy and creative problem solving skills. She enjoys drama most when the focus can be on the process, and not just the product. 

She has taught over 40 different creative and story drama classes, including classes such as Frozen, Pinkalicious, Dr. Seuss, Where the Wild Things Are, Frederick, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Paperbag Princess, and many more.
