Latest Show Bio
Jessa Benson (she/her) (Mary Poppins) couldn’t be more excited to step into the quintessential shoes of this extraordinary nanny. Since childhood, it has been her dream to play this role! She’s been an active member at Community Players since 2017 and is a past board member, director, choreographer, and actor. Some favorite roles at CPT include Andrina (The Little Mermaid); Texas (Cabaret); Jovie (Elf); Ali/Dance Captain (Mamma Mia!); Yvette (Clue); and anytime spent making dear friends while dancing in the ensemble. Most recently, she was seen in the tap chorus of Something Rotten (Peoria Players) and Andrea in “The Warehouse Plays” (NOMAD). All her love to husband, Nick, and sweet puppy, Luna June, for hearing these songs incessantly and for endlessly running lines with me! A huge thank you to her family and friends for their support and encouragement along the way. “May this show bring you such joy and fun just like it did for me all those years ago. Always remember, anything can happen if you let it.”
