About
Jax Cornett
I was born in Denton, Texas but have been a Lafayette, Louisiana local since 2006. I graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in the spring of 2024 with a concentration in design/technology and focused my studies on costuming, wigs and makeup. I do, however, enjoy all aspects of behind the scenes in theater and the unique jobs and perspectives that each area gives. I currently work as a visiting instructor of costume technology/costume shop manager for the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and have previously worked as a wig and makeup apprentice at The Santa Fe Opera under David Zimmerman, was the single wig and makeup apprentice at The Gateway Playhouse in the summer of 2022, and have worked on many productions for UL in positions of cutter/draper, wardrobe head, wig supervisor, and stage manager. Outside of my work in theatre I enjoy learning new facts, especially about sharks, listening to late 70s/80s rock, and reading.
