Jill Jackson

Jill Jackson is a teaching artist, performer, and puppeteer who spends her summers visiting family in the KC area. She graduated from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in 2024 with a dual MFA in Acting and Theatre for Young Audiences and also holds a BFA in Theatre from Abilene Christian University. She spends the school-year as a teaching artist in Hawaiʻi, traveling to a myriad of schools across Oʻahu to help teachers add creative drama to their lessons. Jill’s favorite performance role – possibly of all time – was when she played Sven, a full-body reindeer puppet, in Frozen: the Musical. When not in the classroom, Jill loves to go on hikes and visit the aquarium.
