Jules Kennedy (Essie)

Jules first came to Arena Fair in 2024’s Summer Musical, The Music Man. She gave a memorable performance and energy to that show. She has much the same playfulness I found in Julia Hodge, but I had no idea how far that would go. Much of her performance is silly and over the top, just what Essie needed for this show, and all spontaneously added by Jules. She brings a delightful child-like demeanor to a character that has always needed it, and this show is so much better because she is so much like this Essie. - Chris Crawford, Director
