Actor and Director
Acting
I love to perform, direct, and choreograph! I have been performing since I was kid and this year made my professional debut as Molly in Scenes from the Staten Island Ferry*. While in school I was in numerous MainStage productions and cabarets: Leader of the Pack (Ellie), Cabaret (Fräulein Kost (US) and Kit Kat Girl), Urinetown (Little Becky Two Shoes). Outside of school I have been in A Christmas Carol* (featured ensemble), Grease (Jan), 25th…Spelling Bee (Rona), and Zoo Tampa’s Creatures of the Night event*.
*professional experience
"Anna Jeffries is simply sensational as Jan, the Pink Lady who can’t get enough school food to eat. She’s an electric presence, and she almost single-handedly saves the opening number (“Grease Is the Word”) due to her energy and ability to own a crowded stage. She exudes star-quality." - Peter Nason for Broadway World Tampa on "Grease" at New Tampa Players
Directing
When I’m not performing I love directing for children’s theater! I am currently assistant director of SpongeBob Jr. at Lincoln Hubbard Elementary. This past summer I was the Area Head of Theater at Camp Kingswood where I directed Peter Pan Jr. and High School Musical Jr. Past shows include Jungle Book Kids (Director, Choreographer), Addams Family Jr. (Choreographer), Sleeping Beauty Kids (Director, MD), Dear Edwina Jr. (Choreographer), Winnie the Pooh Kids (Director, Choreographer, MD).
