GOING TO TAHITI PRODUCTIONS
WHO IS Going To Tahiti Productions?
Jessica Ammirati - Founder, Executive Producer, Artistic Director - Jessica has been a director all her life, though her actual directing career didn’t begin until after college. She has directed over 15 productions, the majority of them original works, off off Broadway, including 2 productions on Theatre Row. Several of the productions she directed, she was also co-producer on. Some of the theaters Jessica has directed at are Expanded Arts, Pulse Ensemble Theater, The John Houseman Theater and the American Theater of Actors, to name a few. Recently Jessica completed her first short film, a 20 minute piece that is actually the opening of a feature she hopes to direct in the not too distant future. Although she still is working a day job to pay the bills, Jessica plans to pay her soul by directing until the day they nail her coffin closed… And who knows, St. Peter might need someone to give blocking direction to new arrivals.
