ABOUT
Jésica Terry is an Argentinean actress, director, writer and teacher who currently lives in New York City pursuing her dreams. Her passion towards the arts awakened at an early age and drove her to obtain a BFA in Dramatic Arts and Actor Teaching Degree from Universidad del Salvador. Post graduation she also obtained a Musical Theatre Degree from AMDA New York (The American Musical and Dramatic Academy). With a strong conviction about the importance of the arts in every individual’s education, as well as the importance of education in the arts, she loves to motivate young artists in every class and workshop she instructs. Throughout her career she has worked with notable directors such as Virginia Podestá, Diane Ciesla, Peter MacFarlane, Edgardo Dib, Aksel Tang, Dennis Kelly Higgins, Keith Andrews, Isabel Junco, amongst others.

Her unique drive and perseverance led her to perform in some important Off-Broadway venues such as The Producers Club, The Magnet Theatre, The Hudson Guild Theatre and even at the Argentinian Consulate in New York City. She was also part of several theatre festivals such as the NY SummerFest 2019, where she performed It’s a Woman Thing (The story of a friendship), which received three nominations for the Premios ATI of New York (Best Director, Best Cast and Best Production of an English Play).
Completely in love with the city that doesn’t sleep, which she says “feels like home”, this multifaceted artist and passionate educator keeps moving forward and looking for new projects that help her grow, because “if you are always learning, you’ll never stop improving”.
