Jill Wurzburg

Most recently, she's performed with Snorks and Pins, Perchance to Dream, Looking Glass Theatre, and the Planet Connections Theatre Festivity. She's currently studying at the Shakespeare Forum and with Terry Schreiber at T. Schreiber Studios. She loves collaborating on projects with dedicated, passionate artists, particularly ones who value the power of saying "yes and." Name a theatre-related activity, and she'll take you up on it.

When she's not in rehearsal or at the theatre, reading scripts at New Dramatists, or teaching high-schoolers how to survive the SAT, Jill tends to swim in the ocean at midnight, drive all night to see the Grand Canyon at sunrise, and hike through redwoods. Long walks on the beach don't sound nearly as fun as jumping into the water.

Nice girls have adventures, too.
