2001
Schedule
The year 2000
saw an even wider range of work for me than usual. As well as the
normal school assemblies, libraries, recreation departments, folk/comedy
venues and religious groups there were:
- Speaking
parts in two movies, one TV commercial and one radio commercial.
- Residency
as "Rudyard Kipling" in his historic Vermont home.
- Featured
performer at Festivals in Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Corporate/Conference
engagements for:
- Independent
Computer Consultants Association
- March of
Dimes
- Speech/Language/Hearing
Association
- Maine Resource
Recovery Association
- Legal Secretaries
- Maine Health
Department
- Childrens
Disability Services
- Breastfeeding
Education
- Women-Infant-Children
Nutrition Program
Two weekly
summer shows on Mount Desert Island:
- "Jackson's
Top Ten" revue of 10 family programs from a decade at Acadia Repertory
Theatre.
- "Nature
In Action" at the College of the Atlantic Natural History Museum.
And my best
gig ever -- supporting role in the fathering of our firstborn!
And now for
the new millennium, the following are some of the groups for which
I'll be performing in the coming months. Public shows have a phone
contact listed and it's always a good idea to call ahead as events
are subject to change. Also, feel free to e-mail me if you are interested in attending any of the
other presentations. Often, my performances are for private groups
or functions, but whenever possible, I'll make arrangements for
you to see a performance if you are considering a program. One live
show is worth more than any of words and how I get the vast majority
of my work. |

AUDIO & VIDEO TAPES
You can take home some of Jackson's memorable characters with audio and
video performances available for purchase.
Rudyard Kipling's "Just So" -- Videotape
Rudyard Kipling, who loved to have fun with the English language, wrote
his famous "Just So" stories for his "best beloved," his children. Ever
since, these stories have been loved by generations of children and adults
alike. In this series, Jackson re-tells the stories exactly as they were
written and in a performance style that Mr. Kipling himself would love
to hear and watch. Produced by Chip Taylor.
To order, contact Jackson by e-mail, or order
on-line directly from Chip
Taylor Communications, $25 plus shipping & handling, (one-time broadcast
rights $99.99)
Downeast Ballads
by Ruth Moore and Others
Experience a memorable raft of characters from the Maine coast. Among
others, there's Charley, who "sees some mighty strange things when is
FUI (Fishing Under the Influence)," Old Randall, who everyone knew was
"dumb as a hake," Sam, who thought he'd seen a German submarine, and Gray,
who thought he'd seen his last. From "The Darker Side" of eerie fogs and
loved ones lost at sea, to "The Lighter Side," a delightful compendium
of spoken and sung ballads. Featuring the writing and musical talents
of Ruth Moore, Gordon Bok, Benny Rehl, and others.
To order, contact Jackson by e-mail, $10 plus
shipping & handling
Answering Machine Messages
If you've seen and heard Jackson's characters live, then you'll be sure
to want one or more of his wacky alter egos to answer the phone while
you're away. Greet incoming calls with Wolfman Jackson, comedic slices
of favorite tv shows, or Shakespoof. Or, have Jackson create a special
message just for you, your group or organization.
To order, contact Jackson by e-mail, $10 plus
