Jane Page

Jane is delighted to return to the Vienna’s English Theatre to direct the European Premiere of the Pulitzer prize finalist Other Desert Cities. This is her fourth production outside of the United States. Her previous international work includes God of Carnage, here at this theatre, and two productions at the Edinburgh International Festival: The Great Goddess Bazaar and Amelia Lives which received a Fringe First Award.

Jane is the Head of Directing at the University of California at Irvine (UCI) where she will direct Shakespeare’s As You Like It this spring. Last year Jane directed a powerful production of Macbeth for the Colorado Shakespeare Festival and a staged reading of Falsettoland as part of the Daedalus Project at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. That same year Jane directed a highly acclaimed production of 4000 Miles for the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. Earlier that season, she had directed an inventive and popular production of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer at the Denver Center Theatre Company and Much Ado About Nothing for the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival. Highlights of her recent work include Dürrenmatt’s The Visit at UCI, a hit production of the American classic, To Kill a Mockingbird for the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, and Margaret Edson’s Wit, (a Pulitzer Prize winner) for Theatre Works in Colorado Springs.

Jane’s directing work has taken her across the United States. Her work has been seen at: the Utah Shakespeare Festival, the Shakespeare Festival of St Louis, and the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. Florida Studio Theatre, Two Rivers Theatre in New Jersey, Swine Palace in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Virginia Stage Company, Merrimack Repertory Theatre in Massachusetts, Studio Arena Theatre in Buffalo, New York, GeVa Theatre in Rochester, New York, the Cleveland Play House, and the Boars Head Theatre in Lansing, Michigan.

In 2003 an endowed scholarship was established in Jane’s honor at the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver. Jane is grateful for the ongoing support from her husband, director Gavin Cameron-Webb and her friends.
