Amy Jackson

Amy Jackson is Vice President and Sales Manager of A V Pro, Inc., focusing on project design and systems sales. Having earned both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Theatre Arts from Baylor University, Amy logged ten years as a high school theatre instructor teaching in Waco, West, and Duncanville before coming to A V Pro in 1990. Amy utilizes her twelve years experience in serving as a church sound and lighting operator as well as her background in theatre and education when designing systems and working with customers. She believes that all systems should deliver a solid magical performance whether the venue is a house of worship, a theatre, or a conference room and that all systems should be “operator friendly.” Training sessions with Amy generally include hand-outs and lectures; however, she will forgo the pop quiz as long as customers seem to be listening closely.

Despite the heavy workload at A V Pro, Amy manages to stay involved in theatre. In 1988 she helped to found Duncanville Community Theatre (www.dctheatre.org) and continues to serve as its Executive Director and President of the Board of Directors, directing at least one show per year and overseeing all of the theatre’s operations. In further support of theatre endeavors, Amy serves as a Director-at-Large in USITT-Southwest and actively participates in technical workshops on sound and lighting for the theatre.

At the end of each day Amy goes home to her two cats (Clementine & Floyd) and her beagle, Abigail. While their performances probably need some direction, they don’t buy equipment, rarely have demanding scheduling conflicts, and can generally be satisfied with a little food and attention.
