Jessica McKenzie (Mrs. Peacock) hails from Texas, and found paradise on the Peninsula eleven years ago. She, her partner, and their fabulous six-year old, adventure frequently and rest rarely. Jess writes fiction, still dabbles in PR, and has been involved in every aspect of theater since she was 11, including, acting, directing, playwriting and all manner of backstage work. She graduated from The Theatre School DePaul in Chicago. Previous Playhouse works include This Christmas and Shattered Ceilings. Other favorite roles include Ouiser in Steel Magnolias and Meg in Crimes of the Heart. Jess is excited to be back on stage, especially since it involves every hysterical comedic trope ever, in one of the Top 5 comedies ever. …Yes, she will argue that with you. Bottoms up!
