At St. Petersburg High School she was in all the plays, Oklahoma, Carousel, The Merry Widow and Our Town and then trying little theater after college. Fifty years later she acted in the Provincetown Theater 24-Hour play productions in 2018. Her career has taken her in a different direction working as a full-time artist on Cape Cod for over thirty years.
Jennifer Stratton has been a Cape Cod resident for the past 22 years. She is a visual artist, musician and creative/expressive arts educator. Presently she works as the Art Director for the Boys and Girls Club of Cape Cod in Mashpee.

Last year she was in the Vagina Monolouges presented through the Tilden Arts Center at 4 C’s. She is very excited to be part of this staged reading of Bob Cohen’s plays.
