Jennie's Profile

Jennie has always lived her life centered upon the arts and is therefore quite excited to have joined the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival in the summer of 2006. She studied Dance and English Literature at the University of Oregon, and earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Dance Education from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Jennie is extremely passionate about arts education and has spent over ten years teaching dance to students of all ages throughout the western states and in the Czech Republic. Jennie oversees the festival's educational outreach programs including the InterACT workshop series and the D.G. Menchetti Young Shakespeare free performances. She serves as the Festival Volunteer Coordinator and oversees ticket-taking and audience admittance throughout the summer season. In addition to her love of the arts, Jennie is devoted yoga practitioner and enjoys teaching Hatha yoga classes at O2 Wellness Studio in Gardnerville.
