About Junior Actors Company

My daughters have done two productions, dance classes and a camp with Jessie and they loved every minute. They both learned so much about singing, acting, dancing and performing, as well as gained confidence and poise. Jessie has some sort of magical power to convert a room full of excited but wild kids into a coherent professional troop of actors. The kids really respond to her energy and enthusiasm and they don't even realize they are learning skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

My daughter started with Jessie five years ago. Jessie has the ability to really get to know the kids and bring out their best. She is kind, fun, patient and has been an important role model for my daughter.  While Jessie’s background is as a hip hop dancer and choreographer, one of her huge gifts is in the way she makes her cast members feel about themselves. Jessie brings together kids of all ages, levels and backgrounds to create incredible, memorable stage performances. She allows the bigger kids to serve as role models for the younger ones, and works with the kids on the big picture too — set design, fantastic costumes and programs included. 

We have done camps, classes, workshops and plays with Jessie over the years.  All have been amazing. One of our favorite things about Jessie’s shows is that she often has a little “surprises" in store for the parents in the audience…little things that we had no idea our kids could do! Thank you, Jessie, for the gift of watching our kids perform and for giving our daughter the confidence to put on her knee socks, stick her chin out and sing!
