My guest this week on the podcast is Jenn Book Haselswerdt, a multi passionate creative and mum of 2 from Baltimore USA

Jen is an Arts integration teacher, playwright and dramaturgist , but also enjoys doing all kinds of creating, from pottery to knitting and baking.

Jenn was first drawn to the theatre through 'Annie' the musical. She was an actor through College, had a short time as a professional actor but then realised that she wanted to teach and write in the theatre.

Jenn holds an Undergraduate Degree in Theatre, and a Masters Degree in Theatre, History and Criticism. She works with companies on new play development, reading scripts and doing research into the histories behind plays.

She also works with a gallery to teach about the history of the art pieces.
