Jarriett, who holds a B.A from Columbia College Chicago, an M.F.A from Regent University, and D.M. in Management, has written, published, and produced several theatrical productions in Chicago. She has performed in many theatrical works, films, dance, and commercials. Her vision of an ideal theater comprises one that would combine professional training for the youth with the highest possible performance standard and stories that will cultivate audiences.
