Get Ready to Bite: Jawsica Takes the Stage at Pittsburgh Fringe! (w/Jessica Jade Jacob) – Just Can’t Not

We’re diving deep into the world of puppetry and horror with our lchat with Jessica Jade Jacob about Jawsica, the one-woman puppet show that’s making waves at the Pittsburgh Fringe Festival! We’re super stoked to introduce you to Jessica, the mastermind behind this quirky twist on the classic film *Jaws*, where she brings the iconic shark and all its characters to life using puppets. You’ll hear how Jessica’s passion for horror flicks and her background in special effects makeup collide in this unique performance set for March 26th at the Attack Theater Studios. We’ll also dish on the challenges of condensing a beloved story into a 30-minute show, the joys of puppetry, and the thrill of performing live. So grab your tickets, settle in, and let’s get ready to swim into the depths of creativity and laughter!
