Jessica Wiehler

she/her

My name's Jessica, I do a lot of different things in theatre, from social media, production, writing to directing - I like to try all departments so enable a full view of all parts that contribute to the experience.

I'm interested in work that likes to consider that there are no bad people, only bad situations. Work where characters are a creation of their own circumstance. I really appreciate work where design has been at the heart of the production, and all things have been considered. I prefer shows that work with a low budget because I enjoy to see how creative they have to be to fulfil their objectives.
