NAME - Jessie Anne
YEAR@COLLEGE- Senior

PAST - As of today, Jessie has worked on 8 productions this semester in a variety of roles such as actor, photographer, and dramaturg. Some of her favorite productions have been "Silent Sky", "Microburst", and "The Dark Road".
FUTURE - Jessie will be continuing to respond to the phrase "pick your battles" by choosing all of them. You can see her in "Sic Semper Tyrannus" in May, or working at BYUtv, or in various positions in behavioral health this summer. She will (finally) be graduating next April, at which point she will go to some graduate school for some kind of program in either law, psychology, theatre, writing, or some combination of the above.
THANKS - I'm so grateful for the friends (old and new) this semester who occasionally remind me to slow down, or call me crazy so I have the spite to get everything done. Special thanks to the professors in both TMA and Psych who have had much grace with me over the years.

Including Barefoot in the Park, I have provided dramaturgy for 3 Student Productions and 3 Main Stage plays at BYU: The Glorious Story Emporium, Radium Girls, and Much Ado About Nothing. This Fall, I will be the dramaturg for The Merry Widow, my second opera production. I want to thank my "Twue Wuv," Pat Eyler, when he's not playing my Prince Charming, he also doubles as my Personal Chef, Tech Support, & Uber Driver. I also want to give a shout-out to my posterity, Lizzy & Ty, Michael & Raquel, and our newest addition, Tommy. I owe everything to my poor parents that put up with me singing into my hairbrush till they could start sending me off to rehearsals at the tender age of 8, thus kickstarting my life in the entertainment industry. And last, but not least, Thank you to my Dramaturgy Professor, Shelley Graham, for teaching me everything I know about dramaturgy!
