Jackie
Stage Manager
Performed at CalArts
Directed by Blake Harris
“Jackie, by controversial and Nobel Prize winning Elfriede Jelinek, is an intensely theatrical dissection of Jackie Kennedy Onassis and the myths surrounding her well-coiffed veneer. Taking place in the labyrinth of Jackie's mind, the piece is a disturbing exploration of submission, power, celebrity and the hypocrisy of everyday life. Splitting this one woman show into a diverse group of actors, we explored the different facets that construct an icon. Taking inspiration from Jackie's passion for preservation and presentation, we evoke her essence through obsessively creating a space that can never be perfect but never stops trying.” -Blake Harris, Director
