Other Roles

Douglas McKenna

When Mr. Jenks isn't appearing as President Madison in historic settings, you will most likely encounter him as Douglas McKenna.

Douglas McKenna is historically inspired and thoroughly researched. Like Forrest Gump, he has had the privilege of living a full life, filled with special relationships. During the performance, Douglas ponders upon, elucidates, pontificates, rues and cheers the days of his 18th century life.

Programs featuring Mr. McKenna are customized to the story you would like to tell.

Versatility

As anyone with a background in the theater knows, actors can never rest on their laurels or portray characters in a single type of dramatic endeavor. Mr. Jenks can often be found playing other characters in various productions on and off screen. Not only that, in many ways, actors can also be seen as educators by bringing matters to life that would ordinarily be found in the pages of books.
