Jeanie is basically amazing. She is so busy, and is still the sweetest woman you will ever meet. Having been around acting her whole life, she has spot-on instincts and shares insight with the cast/production team. She is eloquent and confident, such an eye for detail; she is a wonderful role model. Jeanie has a gift for balancing her two roles: a smart business woman, and a creative artist. I always enjoy when she comes to rehearsals... and not only because she brings delicious brownies!

Recently, she is also our resident photographer! Most of the "Photo of the Day" posts you see are courtesy of her. I don't know what we'd do without her!
