 Jerry Jobe
|
You may have seen Jerry in Atlanta productions of
"Whodunnit" at Theatre in the Square, "Sweeney Todd" with the
Phoenix Theatre, or "Cabaret" with Gwinnett ACTA. If so, you've
got a great memory, since it's been 18 years since he's "trod
the boards". Prior to that, his experience was mostly in
musicals like "Fiddler on the Roof", "Guys and Dolls", "West
Side Story", and "Bye, Bye Birdie". He lives a sedentary life as
a computer programmer these days with his wife Susan,
interrupted often by manic bursts from his daughter, Amy. |
