Actor Quote by Gillian Jacobs
“I was extremely lucky to get a chance to return to Governor's School. Being surrounded by this enthusiasm and dedication provided me with new inspiration for my own work. At times, it is possible to lose the joy and drive in your work, but the students of Governor's School reminded me why I have chosen theater as my life's work and why I am so privileged to do so.”
