Prior to founding Triple Promise, Jill had directed hundreds of shows for dozens of theatre companies, schools, summer camps, and arts enrichment programs all over the United States, from New York to Los Angeles and from Boston to Honoulu, and taught acting and drama for some of the world’s most elite prep schools and performing arts programs. She has taught literally tens of thousands of students from across the country and all around the world. Jill’s current and former students have gone on to careers on Broadway (The Lion King, School of Rock, South Pacific at Lincoln Center, and more), television, and in major motion pictures, and have gained admittance to some of the nation’s top universities and conservatory programs. Jill’s work has been featured in Backstage magazine, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, Time Out, Playbill, and Appleseed magazine, and has been featured on  NY1 News, The Parenting Report, Hawai’i Sunrise, Hawai’i News Now, The Conversation, and Hawai’i Public Radio. She holds an MA in Theatre from C.W. Post and a BA in Theatre and English Literature from Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island. Jill’s commitment to excellence on stage and in the classroom is surpassed only by her genuine belief in theatre education as essential education. Her students leave her tutelage as smarter, brighter, more passionate and empathic individuals with transferable life skills in problem-solving, public speaking, creativity, boldness, collaboration, and creative risk-taking. Performing or working backstage on one of Jill’s shows allows children to be a part of a collaboration that is magical and magnificent: something extraordinary and beautiful forged by the collective that no one person could ever achieve individually. For more than two decades, Jill has transformed young lives by sharpening the minds and opening the hearts of every student who enters her classroom or rehearsal space. Triple Promise was Jill’s life-long dream, and she was overjoyed to open the doors officially on April 9, 2022. Since that time, she has been delighted and humbled by the tremendous amount of talented and incredible children and youth who have joined her on this thrilling new endeavor. Through Triple Promise, Jill’s life-long dream has become a reality, and Jill’s daily reality has become a dream! Whether you are joining us as a student, a performer, a staff member, an audience member, or any combination thereof, Jill wholeheartedly welcomes you to the Triple Promise family!
