Jessica Yagoda is a Theatre Educator (Licensed K-12), Director, Teaching Artist, Actress, and Acting Coach based out of New York City. Before getting her MA in Theatre Education & Applied Theatre from Emerson College (’20), Jessica worked as a teaching artist in the tri-state area. Directing and devising countless productions with companies such as Hoboken Children’s Theatre and Brooklyn Acting Lab, Jessica was able to practice her truest love: directing and teaching children’s theatre. Graduating with a B.F.A. in Theatre Performance from Niagara University (’16), Jessica founded Page to Stage, a children’s theatre program for Niagara Falls youth during her senior year of college. Jessica grew up on scholarship at Victoria Buda’s Academy of Theatrical Arts, where she learned first hand what theatre can do for children struggling with poverty. Jessica’s mission is to give back by offering that same opportunity to at-risk youth around the world.
