Jessica Magers-Rankin
Jessica Magers-Rankin (Stage Director) is thrilled to be back for a second year directing with TVP. After the amazing experience of Oklahoma! last summer there was no way she could say no to Guys & Dolls! She would like to thank Dr. Batey & Gayle for being such incredible women and artists ??' this experience would have been nothing without them. Knoxville audiences may remember seeing her onstage as Grandma Tzeitel in Fiddler on the Roof (WordPlayers), Bea in Something Rotten (Tennessee Valley Players), Izzy in Rabbit Hole (Theatre Knoxville Downtown), and Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray (Oak Ridge Playhouse), amongst many other roles. By day Jessica teaches Theatre at Knoxville Catholic High School & serves as the Fine Arts Department Chair - Go Irish! Endless love & appreciation to the Home Team, Dream Team, & The Squad. Matthew 5:16.
