Jennifer’s directing work spans musicals, operas, straight plays, classical work and original devised work with audience interaction. She often utilizes multimedia to enhance the storytelling and visual effects of the story telling. She was grateful to have been mentored by the late Harold Prince and tries to emulate his method of inspiring actors with her work.

She has been in theatre her entire life, creating theatre communities that explore our world, our social responsibility and our best selves through theatre, music, dance and multi-media. She is passionate about creating theatre that casts a critical eye on the social and political issues that face us as a community. Her work looks at existing pieces through the lens of who we were, who we are and who we can be.

Borrowing traditional techniques from Theatre of the Oppressed, there’s an interesting blend of personal narrative, media representation and statistics that come together to create a story that resonates long after leaving the theater. — Sydney Arndt Theatre is Easy

A live audience had never seen Charlie Hu$tle before and the power in the room was palpable. Jennifer Little, director and faculty member at OCC, did a fantastic job bringing this show to life on stage. — Emily Dekker, BroadwayWorld.com

Financial Slavery is more than a show. It's the narrative of a generation that knows the value of education but is simultaneously seeing college tuition rise higher than ever. It begs the question, "What are we paying for?"  — Kellie Williams, BWW Blog

The cast of Jekyll and Hyde did a superb job.  We were fascinated to see how the interpreters not only shadowed their characters but also took on the personality of the character interpreted.  Since the interpreters increased the number onstage, their choreography to flow with the action was remarkable.  So much better than a "Greek chorus" to the side.  This is unique--I've never seen interpreters integral with the play before OCC began doing this.  Each performance takes the idea to a new level. — Audience Member, Jekyll and Hyde

This show (Radium Girls) had me gripped from start to finish. Tessa Gibson’s, (Grace Fryer), emotional depth and physical acting were so powerful that I was feeling true sympathy for her character the whole time. Kalen Rogers, (Arthur Roeder), has a wonderfully powerful stage presence that was exciting every time he entered the scene. - Emily Dekker, BroadwayWorld.com
