Jessi Braverman
Jessi discovered Centerstage in 2020 when her daughter's third grade teacher recommended enrolling Aerith, then eight, in theatre. Aerith had been telling outrageous fabricated stories during her daily morning meeting, and her teacher, whose kids had done theatre at Centerstage, recommended finding an outlet for all her animated storytelling. The pandemic delayed Aerith’s start at Centerstage. Aerith made her black box debut in January 2022 as the Sour Kangaroo in Seussical Junior at Centerstage — and has been in nearly every Centerstage show for her age group since. Centerstage provides Aerith with an endless joy, confidence, passion and community, and Jessi is thrilled to give back to an organization that has given her family so much. Jessi worked in digital media in professional cycling for over a decade before transitioning to the non-profit world. She currently works for CHAMPS Colorado, a foster care non-profit that promotes foster and kinship families as a vital voice within the child welfare system. The cause is close to Jessi’s heart. She is a certified therapeutic foster parent and has been welcoming youth in foster care into her home since 2018.
