The
new millennium brought 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.
- Residencies
as "Rudyard Kipling" in his historic Vermont home.
- Featured
performer at Festivals in Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, Missouri,
Rhode Island, 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
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.
- "A
Dad's Eye View" - stages of parenting from "a twinkle
in the eye" to baby's first steps
And my best
gig ever -- supporting role in the fathering of our firstborn!
And now for
2002, 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 shipping & handling
