Guest Artist
Jill is an actress, singer, and dancer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. A California native, Jill moved to the East Coast and made her Broadway debut in Show Boat. She toured across the country and around the world with various productions including the National Tour of Damn Yankees as Lola opposite Jerry Lewis, as Peggy Sawyer in the National Tour of 42nd Street. Most notably, Jill performed as Cassie in an unbelievable number of Regional, National, European, and International tours of A Chorus Line.
Some of her favorite regional credits include Rose in Gypsy, Polly in Crazy for You, Woman 2 in …and the World Goes ‘Round,’ Fastrada in Pippin, Miss Sandra in All Shook Up, Miss Adelaide opposite Maurice Hines in Guys and Dolls, Charity Hope Valentine in Sweet Charity, one of the cats in Cats, The Acrobat in SJCMT’s production of Matilda, Martha in SJCMT’s White Christmas, and Solange LaFitte in Follies at SF Playhouse.
Outside of theater, Jill is an adrenaline junkie and roller coaster enthusiast! She is a licensed skydiver (USPA ‘A’ License), and a skilled violin player.
In 2009, Jill began her second career as a registered nurse and graduated Summa Cum Laude at CUS Monterey Bay with a BS in Nursing. She finds that exposing herself to the vulnerability of live performance, where sheer terror lives, is a great way to unwind from the daily stresses of Hospice Nursing. She now lives in California and continues to pursue her passions both on and off the stage. She hopes to be the first Engineer/Nurse/Actor on Mars!
