Jessica Brown (she/her) is thrilled to be Avalanche Theatre’s Development Director. She is a Chicagoland based arts management professional with experience in fundraising, events, and programming in theatre company’s like Broadway in Chicago, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, and Metropolis Performing Arts Centre.

Jess grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago before heading to University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point where she studied Arts Management before moving back to the city that inspired her to pursue a career in theatre. While her arts management and non-profit management career has taken her out of the arts professionally for the time being, she is excited to get to tap into her passion and love of supporting performing arts and new theatre in Chicago with Avalanche Theatre!
