Hawkins Gardow
Music Director
Jessica (she/her) is so excited to be back at Pendragon! She had a blast directing and choreographing The Muppet Cabaret last summer, and has been seen on the Pendragon stage as Janet in Rocky Horror Show and Theresa in Circle Mirror Transformation. Other favorite credits include: The Phantom of the Opera (North American Tour), My Fair Lady (Eliza Doolittle), Anything Goes (Reno Sweeney), and Avenue Q (Kate/Lucy, Regional Premiere). BFA: NYU (CAP21). www.jessicawagner.net
Hawkins (he/him) is a Newark NJ based musician. He is so excited to return to Pendragon Theater and to work with this incredible team once again. He is starting his journey as a working musician and is forging into the world of musical theatre. He studied musical theatre at AMDA (American Musical and Dramatic Academy), and has since shifted and mixed his training with his prolific music background and has become an accomplished accompanist and music director. This project features our favorite bops from the 50s and 60s, and includes a lot of his favorite tunes from this era. The material is fun and has that classic sound we love about this time, and he is excited to bottle that magic and bring it to our audiences. Thanks and appreciation to the friends who have helped him get to this point, his brother, his in-law, his boyfriend, and his hoot of a mother.
