Bobbie Jeffrey has called Kansas City home since 1989. She graduated from University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, with bachelor’s degrees in Theatre and Psychology, which prepared her for both the comedy and trauma of home educating each of her three boys from kindergarten through high school. In 1990, she founded and served as artistic director of a theatre company for home educated students, h.e.a.r.t. theatre company. She also served as the assistant director of Gospel Music Association’s drama training conference at the Seminar of the Rockies before Calvary University recruited her in 2004 to teach theatre electives and direct productions. She was asked to design a Theatre Arts major and minor there, and in 2009, CU Theatre Arts was born.

Also in 2009 (it was a busy year!), Ms. Jeffrey was awarded a fellowship to study Shakespearean directing at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, and at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon. She earned her master’s degree in Theatre at the University of Missouri-Kansas City in December of 2009.

Ms. Jeffrey recently retired from Calvary to launch Imago Performing Arts. Founded on the premise we are created to create, Imago is a new arts initiative planning to open Spring 2021 in the Belton/Raymore area.

For now, Bruce, her husband of 42 years, is enjoying having her home during the evening…but we doubt it will last!
