Jill Slyter is enjoying her second career as a Registered Nurse after retiring from show business in 2007. She finds that exposing herself to the vulnerability of live performance, where sheer terror lives, is a great way to unwind from the daily stresses of Hospice Nursing.

Regionally, she appeared as Rose in Gypsy, Polly in Crazy for You, Woman 2 in ...and the World Goes 'Round, Fastrada in Pippin, Miss Sandra in All Shook Up, Miss Adelaide opposite Maurice Hines in Guys and Dolls, Charity Hope Valentine in Sweet Charity, one of the cats in Cats, at CMTSJ as The Acrobat in Matilda, Martha in White Christmas, and Miss Lark in Mary Poppins, at SF Playhouse as Solange LaFitte in Follies, Arvide Abernathy in Guys and Dolls, and Mrs Higgins in My Fair Lady, at Sierra Rep as Mrs. White in Clue, as Ray in Ray of Light Theatre’s Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, as Old Lady in PLAY Theatre’s Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, and as Old Lady/Blair Daniels in Shotgun Playhouse’s production of Sunday in the Park with George (there seems to be a pattern emerging here). For a brief moment, Jill carried a 4.00 GPA at the Colorado School of Mines where she majored in Mechanical and Chemical Engineering before finally graduating Summa Cum Laude at CSU Monterey Bay with a BS in Nursing.
