In addition to performing, Jo writes & produces original scripts for film & stage, as well as teaching acting, drama and dance to young actors through her bespoke production and entertainment company ShoWorks Entertainment. ShoWorks assists in producing external individual theatre and film projects in Los Angeles, bringing them from “page to stage.” Their most recent production was John Pollono’s dark comedy “Small Engine Repair,” which played to sold out houses at The Broadwater Second Stage Theater in Hollywood.
The company is also a proud sponsor of the
“Don’t Wait. Create! Award” at the annual Hollywood Fringe Festival for original and innovative work.
