Jessica Eckhoff

Director (A-Listers)

Jessica Eckhoff is a graduate of James Madison University in Virginia, with a B.S. in Biology and Master of Arts in Teaching and is currently a science teacher at Edison High School. She is an alum of Rumson—Fair Haven Regional High School’s theatre program and minored in theatre in college. She worked on many theatrical productions throughout her college years, both performing and “helping out”, but finally found her passion for directing when she became the director at Edison High School in 2022. Her most recent works include High School Musical, Clue, Legally Blonde, Almost Maine, & The Addams Family. She will also be working as an assistant stage manager for Grease at Plays in the Park in Edison this summer.

Jessica always says that “teaching is just practice for her stand- up comedy career” as she loves cracking jokes and making people laugh. Some of her favorite hobbies include yoga, dancing, watching movies with her sister, eating chicken wings, and spending time with her dog (a chihuahua mix named Emma).
