Avery is a simple girl in a complicated world. She's also an accomplished independent musician, producer, sound designer, tech, and performer, who has been lending her expertise and outside eye to productions across Melbourne for the last two years. When not behind the AV desk, you can find her at home recording bedroom symphonies, or out and about performing music and stand-up comedy. Despite all her achievements, she is still persistently terrible at writing bios about herself.

Trained at WAAPA and UWA Jennifer is an actor, writer, designer and director. She is co-founder and Company Manager of Wit Incorporated theatre company. Her work gazes adoringly at feminism, sexuality, gender and neurodivergence, as they rummage around in their pockets looking for their shared identity.

JP loves taking characters from our theatrical canon, created by old white dudes for old white dudes and making them her own: including Doug (Cosi), Banquo (Macbeth), and Sherlock Holmes. In 2018, JP brought the house down as Tiggy, Teresa and Zoe in Bombshells, then terrified the lot as The Queen in Ophelia Thinks Harder.

Jennifer designs (set, lighting and graphic) for most of of Wit Incorporated’s productions, has performed in Ophelia Thinks Harder, Bombshells, Outside In, A Scandal in the Weimar, Macbeth, Couch Potato and Cosi, and directed Fairy Tale News and A Hero’s Guide to Saving the Planet.

Jennifer has performed for Melbourne Shakespeare Company, Key Conspirators and Sly Rat Theatre Co. and provides mentoring and support to Fringe artists programmed at Bluestone Church Arts Space. JP takes great joy both in writing new theatre and in working with other writers to develop and refine their own creations.

Jack has been lurking around Wit Incorporated since he leaped into the op spot for Macbeth, and we love it. You might have seen him at Bluestone Church Arts Space as part of the award-winning team that brought you "Have You Tried Yoga?" during Fringe Westside for Arts & Culture Maribyrnong.

He's one half of GJ Productions, a skilled lighting designer and technician, an increasingly visible director and a genuinely lovely human.
