JESS ALVERSON<\/h1>\n

she\/her<\/em><\/p>\n

Acting, Early Elementary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jess’ first time on stage was at 4 years old and by 8 she knew the theatre was exactly where she wanted to be for the rest of her life. Jess has been a performer, a director, a stage manager, a teacher, a stagehand, an acting coach and a theatre venue manager. Her theatre motto has always been; “I’ll do anything that needs doing- just let me be in the building. I’ll scrub the stage with a toothbrush if you need, I just want to be here.” Jess went to Grand Valley State University and has a degree in Communications and Theatre. This is her first season teaching at Civic and she is VERY excited to get to collaborate and play with all of you!<\/p>\n
