Meet the Company

This is his first live performance since the pandemic, and he is looking forward to returning to the stage.
David R. Jarrott (Director & Producer)
David R. Jarrott created Jarrott Productions in 2015 because apparently Austin didn’t have enough theatre companies. This is JP’s 14th live Main Stage production, with another 5 Digital Stage productions in its list of credits. With a theatre career spanning some 68 years, David’s other tangential careers have been in radio, television, and advertising. He considers himself a communicator and a story teller—with more stories to tell. Stay tuned.
Will Gibson Douglas (Associate Producer & Properties)
Will is an Austin-based actor and director. His directing credits include JP's recent hit THE PACT, as well as Different Stages' HEARTBREAK HOUSE (B. Iden Payne Nomination). Acting credits include THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT and SIGNIFICANT OTHER for Jarrott Productions, both of which garnered B. Iden Payne Nominations. He has worked with numerous other local companies in various capacities including Different Stages, The VORTEX, Ground Floor Theatre, & Street Corner Arts. He is the Associate Artistic Director at Jarrott Productions and is a company member at The VORTEX.
Isabella Anastasia Leigh (Production Manager & Stage Manager)

Upcoming is FIRE IN DREAMLAND with Filigree Theatre.
Zane Bares (Scene Designer & Properties)
Zane Bares works as a Production Designer and Set Decorator in the film industry; with clients like AT&T, Dell, and Valero, often times the work is artistically unfulfilling. So Zane really loved working with Jarrot Productions on his inaugural theater production in something that has a satisfying creative aspect and hopes to do more shows in the future.
Aaron Flynn (Costume Designer)
Aaron Flynn has been costuming for the theater community in Austin since 2016, and has worked before with Jarrott Productions on 2019’s production of ADMISSIONS, as well as LIFESPAN OF A FACT and THE PACT in 2022. Other notable works include Rude Mechs NOT EVERY MOUNTAIN, the Hidden Room’s THE ROVER, Frank Wo/Men’s RUB A DUCK, and Penfold's production of AMADEUS. Aaron is grateful for theater’s return after the ghost light’s two year residency of our stages.
