Name: Jessica Geffen
Role in WOT: Andromache
Age: 26
Background:
*Southern Oregon Univ. B.F.A. in Theatre
Reason for joining WOT/Lunacy Stageworks:
Jessica loves Greek theatre; the history and development of character amazes her. She thought the script was magical and liked the idea of the "women" of Troy. Amid all this she thought the privilege to work with the playwright throughout the process was a opportunity that could not be passed up.
Fondest memory in theater:
During her senior year of college, tragedy struck when she has lost her father. Little did she know she was about to land a the role of Katherine in Proof, a part which helped her cope with her father's death. The truth and honesty in the play helped her bring humanity to such a great loss.
Favorite cereal: Cheerios.
Hobbies outside of theater: Cooking (Jewish feast), knitting, video games (Team Fortress), hiking and camping.
Pet peeve: Bad drivers!
Goals for WOT:
After being off the stage for over a year, she hopes to reach inside and find the spark again. Also, she wants to ensure that the message of Women of Troy gets into the hearts of the audience, because the show relates to what our world is going through today.
