She has also performed in numerous other theatrical productions including 'Cabaret', 'Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris', 'Godspell', 'Jubalay', 'Starting Here, Starting Now', 'Side by Side by Sondheim', 'A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline', John Gray's 'Amelia' and 'The Tree, The Tower and The Flood' and Ann Mortifee's 'When The Rains Come', among others.

She has also performed in many solo concerts, as well as in various club bands over the years.
Jane has recorded three CDs, Conversations, Give Me Something Real and her newly released R&B CD Get Ready. It's a stunning collection of songs, featuring her powerful vocals and a very hot band, with Bill Sample on keyboards, Robbie Steininger on guitar, Brian Newcombe on bass, Randall Stoll on drums, Linda Kidder and David Steele on backing vocals, and a wonderful horn section - Terry Townson on trumpet and Steve Hilliam on saxophones. The joint will definitely be jumping this night!!
