Jackson is the co-producing artistic director of New Neighborhood. New Neighborhood recently joined forces with Rattlestick Playwrights Theater and The Commissary to produce Why Would I Dare: The Trial of Crystal Mason. In collaboration with Dan Butler and DMNDR, New Neighborhood produced the first 24-hour reading of Filibustered and Unfiltered: America Reads the Mueller Report, which inspired more than a dozen other events across the country and was featured everywhere from the Los Angeles Times (“a live-theater summer sensation!”) to Breitbart News (“the single most boring and pointless way to waste your time!”). The tidal wave of public readings reached its apex when it was name-checked in Congress during Robert Mueller’s nationally televised public testimony.
Jackson currently teaches Directing at Brooklyn College. Previous teaching experience includes Directing and/or Acting courses at Williams College, Yale College, New School, Columbia, Fordham, PlayPenn, and ESPA Primary Stages. Jackson has been a guest director at Yale School of Drama, UNC-Chapel Hill, Dartmouth, and Juilliard.
