Playwright
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always enjoyed writing. It was in 2021 when I’ve started submitting plays starting with one acts, eventually full length plays.

Just Friends
One man. One woman. They have one thing in common: they’ve watched a lot of rom-com films. So what happens when a series of events mimic the movies they bonded over? Will it end their friendship, or lead to something more? Find out in this homage to romantic comedies written and directed by Jessica Roberts.
Big Sister
Sisters Amy and Erin are bad at dating. Until Erin gets the perfect match on a dating app. Amy has her doubts, but Erin is hopeful that she’s met Mr. Right. Little does she know what horrors await.
#Cinderella
It’s the classic fairy tale set in the modern world where social media and influencers are popular. We meet Giselle the heroine of our story, who not only lives with a wicked stepmother and evil stepsisters, but is also the upcoming TikTok comedienne TheLadyElla. Meanwhile the popular Instagram model Henry is searching for a lead actress to costar with him in an upcoming Netflix movie. And what a way to find your leading lady than to throw a masquerade ball. With the help of the internet’s nonbinary fairy godmother, Giselle goes to the ball. And much like the fairy tale she is forced to flee, leaving behind an important item for Henry to find his princess.
“Congratulations to Jessica Roberts for creating such a clever adaptation of a beloved fairy tale, and a story that let the audience take a look at the current society, giving us a little bit to reflect on as we left the theater.”
