Jessica Barone is an actor, author, cosplayer, educator, singer, and the mother of a warrior princess. Jessica is the author of The Shadowlands series and is proud to be one half of the YouTube channel Take 2 Productions  Her one-time journey on the Galactic Starcruiser in Disney World inspired her to re-enter the world of performance, imagination and creativity.  Jessica credits her Sicilian grandmother's stories of the old country as her earliest source of inspiration.  Today Jessica is a mother who tells stories to her own child, and has kept her love of the supernatural alive by watching scary movies, melodramatic Netflix shows, and reading slightly disturbing novels in her spare time.

Jessica was the lead singer in the acoustic duo Take 2, and won Enfield Idol in 2013.  She performed in the Choir in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, 2023.  In October 2023, she performed “Mother Knows Best” in a Halloween Villain Cabaret. In December 2024, Jessica performed "God Help The Outcasts" at Bay Path University's Winterfest.  In July 2025, she was featured in the Ensemble of "Matilda" alongside her daughter, Ceili Handly.  She was cast in a Fall 2025 production of Sweeney Todd, and most recently performed in a Gaya Tribute Concert in Orlando, Florida.
