Anna Jeffries
she/her/hers
Hi! I’m Anna Jeffries, a performer and director from New Providence, New Jersey. I am based in New Jersey, just a short trip away from New York City. I graduated with a double major in Musical Theater and Political Science from the University of Tampa.
Currently, I am in rehearsals to play Mary Debenham in Murder on the Orient Express and Rhoda in White Christmas at The Milford Theater.
This fall, I am the Choreographer for The Prom and Little Mermaid Jr. with Pebble Players. When not performing, I love to cook, needlepoint, scrapbook, and read!
I am a determined, funny, and curious performer willing to take risks and who excels under pressure.

Actor and Director
Acting
I have been performing since I was kid and this year made my New York debut in Open Road Stage’s “Lockwood”. I graduated cum laude from the University of Tampa in Florida with a BFA in Musical Theater and BA in Political Science in May of 2024. While in school I was in numerous main stage productions and cabarets: Leader of the Pack (Ellie), Cabaret (Fräulein Kost (US) and Kit Kat Girl), and 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.
This summer, I played Winnie Tate and the Annie Oakley understudy in Annie Get Your Gun at The Shawnee Playhouse. This year I have also ventured into the world of film through vertical short films including The Missing Kitchen King (Audience 4) and Son’s Wife Wants Me Dead (Costar) (Journey Entertainment).
"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 and Choreography
When I’m not performing I love directing for children’s theater! I am currently choreographing The Prom and The Little Mermaid Jr. with Pebble Players. Last year, I stage managed for the first time, stage managing Something Rotten and Rehearsal for Murder at Pebble Players.
Past shows include Matilda Jr. (Choreographer), Madagascar Jr. (Asst. Director), The Addams Family Jr. (Choreographer), Beauty and the Beast Jr. (MD), Peter Pan Jr. (Director), High School Musical Jr. (Director), SpongeBob Jr. (Asst. Director), and more!
