Jillian Leff is a Chicago based actor, playwright, and stage combat nerd. She is originally from Cleveland, OH and holds a BFA in Acting from Ball State University. In addition to working with different theatres across the city, she is an Ensemble Member and Literary Manager of Babes With Blades Theatre Company. She is a three time Jeff Award Nominee, one for each of her hyphenates/disciplines/obsessions - Best New Work (SMALL WORLD - co-written with Joe Lino with The New Colony), Best Ensemble (JANE: ABORTION AND THE UNDERGROUND with Idle Muse Theatre Company), and Artistic Specialization - Fight Choreography (DIE HARD 4 YOUR LUV with The Factory Theater). When she isn't focused on the acting/writing/fighting thing, she can most likely be found binging a TV show or eating potatoes. Find her on the internet @jilleleff
