Fiddler on the Roof – Staff

Jillian Durrant-Jenkins
Assistant Director

Jillian is thrilled to be back with Boise Music Week. She has been singing all her life, and found a home in theater. Some favorite past roles include: Fred in Once Upon a Mattress (BLT), Betty in White Christmas (BLT), and the head penguin in Mary Poppins (BMW). She has a passion for Fiddler on the Roof and is so excited to be a part of telling this very important story. Thanks to Patti for letting her join the production crew and thanks to Ammon and Peggy for your patience when she is busy! To life!

Dugan Jackman
Choreographer

Dugan is ecstatic to return to The Morrison Center Stage as choreographer for “Fiddler on the Roof,” finally putting his World Folk Dance education to good use! Previous BMW choreography credits Include “Cinderella,” “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” and “The Secret Garden.” When not bringing stories to life through movement, Dugan can be found nurturing the next generation of performers through his perpetually sold-out Meridian CUE youth theatre program. Off-duty hours are spent in strategic hiding from the outside world, accompanied by his husband and their impossibly adorable puppy, Buster, who has mastered the art of scene-stealing without even trying.

JeNeale Hill
Vocal Director

JeNeale is excited to be music directing her fifth BMW show, especially as Fiddler is one of her favorite musicals. Her earliest musical memories were of watching her grandfather direct school choirs and bands and church groups. And she was hooked! JeNeale has been music directing musicals in the Treasure Valley since 2013, with some of her favorites shows at Boise Little Theater, Stage Coach Theater, and Boise Music Week. Thank you to Patti, Jillian, Dugan, Kelley, and the cast for sharing in the experience of presenting this beautiful, timeless show. Thank you also to Gregg for his love and endless support.

Kelley Smith
Producer/Orchestra Conductor

This is my second year as Production Chairman and it’s a work of love. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

My first music week was in the Boise Elementary Honor Chorus singing “Lucky Little Cricket;” Since then I have been involved in many aspects of Music Week, most recently conducting the orchestra for the musical. My first piano lesson was when I was eight, and then clarinet lessons and percussion lessons. My mom drove me to them all, and my dad made sure her car got me to them all. Music is my passion and my life, and musicals take the forefront of my interests. Please support music and get children involved. Music will develop a young child’s brain and help them with their school work. I don’t know where I would be without it. Thanks to all my friends and family for being there!
