About curator Brenda Jones – Brenda’s background includes the U.S. International University’s School of Performing Arts, and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts here in New York City. As with many student actors, she stepped away from the stage entirely after deciding that ‘eating’ was better than ‘applause.’ After a full career in media advertising and marketing sales for media companies from WPIX-TV to BET.com, Brenda has returned to the boards – to direct.
She has directed new and small productions at the [Queens] Secret Theater, and within the New York Theater Festival’s Winterfest Competition. Currently, Ms. Jones is an acting coach for actors in various TV and film productions – and is the curator for JCAL’s aforementioned ‘Meet The Playwright’ series, entering its 5th season in October 2024.
