Jessica Cavanagh
Actor. Teacher. Writer. Director.
Hi! I’m Jessica Cavanagh (she/her).
My passion is storytelling, and I obviously get stoked about doing that from many different positions and perspectives!
Do you…
have a production in need of a director with vision and enthusiasm?
have an audition to prepare for?
have a story or written work in need of adapting for the stage?
have a theatre season in need of a play containing multiple complex female characters?
have a play in need of an actor with decades of experience who remains curious and open?
have an animated piece in need of a voice with texture and nuance?
I believe in the power of art to heal and inspire us because I’ve experienced it my entire life, and the chance to share that passion with others is truly what gets me out of bed every morning. I would love to work with you and/or your organization to create something beautiful!

Jessica’s Bio
A recent transplant to Raleigh, North Carolina, Jessica has 25 years of experience as a professional stage actor and 15 years as a voice actor in shows like My Hero Academia (Inko Midoriya, Deku’s sweet mama!), Attack on Titan (Carla Jaeger…Eren’s Mom), One Piece (Curly Dadan…are we seeing a trend, here?), Fairy Tail (Aquarius), Steins;Gate (Moeka, AKA Shining Finger), Black Butler (Paula), Black Clover (Puli Angel), Code: Breaker (Rui Hachioji), Karneval (Iva) and many, many others. She was also a staff writer for Funimation Entertainment (now Crunchyroll) from 2015-2021 and adapted hundreds of episodes of anime for English audiences. Her semi-autobiographical play, Self-Injurious Behavior, workshopped with a four week run in Dallas in 2018 and subsequently ran off-Broadway in an Equity Showcase, followed by an LA premiere in late 2019 at Theatre 68 (Executive Produced by Joe Mantegna). Her other written works include The Kindness of Strangers, a backstage play about sexual assault in the theatre set on the eve of the 2016 election, and full-length adaptations of the classics Little Women and Pride and Prejudice, which both premiered at Young Actors Theatre in her hometown, Tallahassee, Florida, where she served as the Director of Acting from 2022-2025.
Personal Mission
I believe in the power of art to heal and to inspire change because I’ve experienced it in my own life time and time again. Because of that, I’m driven not only to create, but to help others find and embrace their unique gifts and strengths on their paths as actors and creators. Nothing lights me up more!
