As a young actor, Jamie enjoyed attending the Missoula Children's Summer Theater Camp at Fairfield University. For four summers, Jamie added her own special “sparkle” to the roles of a singing fisherman, the head munchkin of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, and Cinderella. Full scholarships to the summer theater camp are awarded to children from families affiliated with Action for Bridgeport Community Development in Bridgeport, CT. Jamie came to know and to love the ABCD families through the literacy program run by her mother, Dr. Judy Primavera.
