Jennifer Jasper's FAMILY AFFAIR Returns to the JewelBox Theater Tonight
Jennifer Jasper, in association with JewelBox Theater, presents a monthly cabaret all about family. Family Affiar returns tonight, February 18, 2015 at 7:30 p.m.
In Family Affair, hosted and curated by Jennifer Jasper, storytellers, dancers, writers, musicians and artists share their hilarious, twisted and ultimately relatable familial skeletons on the third Wednesday of each month. As needed, each performance benefits a family in the artist community who has had an unforeseen crisis. The evening closes with a new story randomly drawn from Jennifer's kooky family album of Jasper Jewels.
Jennifer Jasper has been a fixture of the Northwest theater scene for more than two decades -- she is known for storytelling, directing, acting, emceeing and most recently playwriting. As a storyteller and writer, her stories are brutally honest, sometimes poignant, and absolutely hilarious.
In 2014 she was one of six winning playwrights at the Samuel French Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival for her play "et•y•mol•o•gy" which will be published in "Off Off Broadway Festival Plays, 39th Series" in early 2015. She is working on an Off Broadway showcase that will run in New York during the 2015-2016 season.
She co-founded Kings' Elephant Theatre (original long form improvisational pieces and unscripted plays) and Vixen Productions (Pulp Vixens, A Fistful of Lesbians). Jennifer's hit autobiographical show I Can Hear You...But I'm Not Listening was featured most recently at Bumbershoot 2014, Teatro Paraguas in Santa Fe, NM in January 2014 and Theatre Off Jackson's SPF Festival in March of 2013, and was part of the 2014 Hollywood Fringe Festival in June. She premiered her latest solo show It Will Kill Them! at Gay City Arts in February 2014. In 2013 she was awarded a Jack Straw Artist Support Residency.
