Jenn recently joined Forum as production manager after stage-managing Valparaiso and The Skriker. A graduate of Norwich University: the Military College of Vermont, she has stage managed for many different companies in the DC area including the Folger Theatre, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, Washington Shakespeare Company, Theater Alliance, Theater J, Catalyst Theater Company, MetroStage, and the Capital Fringe Festival. Since arriving in DC in 2001 she has worked on more than 50 professional theatrical productions in a plethora of roles.
In addition to stage management, Jenn has worked closely with the DC musical community, including managing a regional rock band, the Lloyd Dobler Effect, for a year. It was during this year that she met her husband, Eddie Pasa, drummer for the Arlington rock band Juniper Lane and a prominent solo acoustic guitarist. Together they work to organize and promote concerts and acoustic shows all over the DC metro area.
During the day, Jenn is the IT project manager for the Institute of International Finance, where she has also worked in Emerging Market Economics. Last year she coordinated the IIF/ASEAN Finance Minister's Forum in Singapore, which brought together nine of the ten ASEAN finance ministers in a high-level series of presentations and discussions attended by a broad spectrum of the global financial community.
Jenn also devotes time to area animal rescues and is the proud adopter of two beagles and two tabby cats, all of which were saved from the pound or the streets.
