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, Kentucky, Connecticut,
New Hampshire, Minnesota, New York, Georgia, and Utah..
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!
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
