About Jesica Garrou
Behind the Scenes
Jesica Garrou believes in the power of Art in Social Activism. She belongs to the League of Professional Theatre Women whose mission is to create parity for women theatre-makers. She also works with Theatre Resources Unlimited to promote a spirit of cooperation and support within the general theatre community.
Jesica has always been enamored by the arts - especially the stage. A graduate of the prestigious Marlin Fitzwater Center For Communication at Franklin Pierce University and the National Theatre Institute at the Eugene O'Neil Theater Center, Jesica began her career at PBS North Carolina. Over the past two decades, she's been involved in productions from coast to coast at all levels from community theatre to professional theatre as well as film and broadcast media.
​
Those who have worked with Jesica describe her as motivated but compassionate. Whether working with children on stage for the first time or Broadway-seasoned adults, Jesica is known for her ability to connect to performers and unlock new potential.
​
Jesica is an active member of her local community. She cofounded the Royal River Community Players, serves on the Yarmouth School Committee, and volunteers with other community groups.

"Wow, WOW, WOW. That's what I have to say about last night's presentation..."
Lauren S. says
"Her talent, creativity and immense educational ability... is unique and impressive."
Kelly Walton, RRCP Board Member
"I would watch her work tirelessly - literally around the clock - to make productions happen at a high level. This involved constantly connecting with others in the community, fearlessly asking for their support, and often receiving it. Jesica does expect a lot from others, but she expects more from herself. The results have been outstanding, and I find, beyond what most of us think is possible."
