Jodie's Welcome
Hello and welcome to the JSA London Showcase 2024!!!
I just wanted to write a THANK YOU for coming along and supporting our squad and also WELCOME to JSA if you’re new here!
We have been rehearsing with this squad since February. We started with one rehearsal a month and then we went to two a month. In total they’ve had 10 sessions to create this beast of a show!
We are packed with talent this year- overwhelmingly so, with particularly incredible voices and I am so proud of each and everyone of them. This show is not an easy programme but they have all risen to the challenge!
We have had incredible industry professionals in to work with them; Gary Lloyd, Lucy Jane Adcock, Paris Green, Alex Sarmiento, Libby Watts and Joe Parsons who are all front running creatives within the industry across the West End and beyond. And of course, we have had our core JSA creative team behind the wheel at all times- myself, Steve Duguid, Dani Acors, Ben Sell and Liam Doyle. The most remarkable support network a girl could ask for.
JSA means the world to me and I promise I put my heart and soul into it. It is not a profit making business - it’s a passion project to give up and coming talent a public platform and relevant training experiences.
With that in mind, sit back, relax (although do whoop and cheer) and enjoy our jam packed show!!
And again, thank you for coming along!
