Meet Jerry Bush

I'm a caregiver for my folks and I’m involved in theatre with the Richland Players and Rude Mechanicals.

⭐️ Emily Richman on Jerry:

“Jerry’s work as an actor and poet is inspiring to me as a local artist. He is so compassionate and supportive of the artists he collaborates with.”

🔥 What drives Jerry

“I'm excited by good theater, a good local art scene, poetry, and freedom of expression in all forms.”

🌈 Jerry‘s vision for the Tri-Cities

“I'm heavily biased, but I'd like to see our cultural diversity grow and see it reflected in art. We have to leave fear behind and embrace change.”

Jerry’s recommendations
