Some of Jesse’s particular theatrical joys are stories that play within magical realism, ensemble driven devising processes, and inspecting the United State's Middle Class obsession with being consistently content. 

He is always looking for new work or taking very old (by homo sapien standards) texts and twisting, cutting, and turning them up every which way.
