Jillian (she, her) is overjoyed to be heading Into the Woods this winter with San Francisco Playhouse. She’s “wished” to tell this story since she was a child, and is thrilled to do so in her hometown! She was last on stage here as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady. Other favorite regional credits include Anya in Anastasia (Hillbarn Theatre), Bebe in A Chorus Line (San Francisco Playhouse), Erma in Anything Goes (42nd Street Moon), Helga in Cabaret (Center REP), Adriana in The Comedy of Errors (SPARC Theater), and Olive (Alternate) in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Theatre Works Silicon Valley). Jillian trained in ballet at the Bolshoi Academy in Moscow, and received her BA in computer science and theatre from the University of California, Berkeley. “Deepest gratitude to Susi, Dave, this beautiful cast and crew, my family, hot tea, and slippers that fit!” @jillians_1 | jillian-a-smith.com
