She has received commissions from Actors Theatre of Louisville, TheatreSquared (Fayetteville, AR), and San Francisco Playhouse. Her play Flex was produced in Lincoln Center’s Summer for the City festival in 2023. In 2021, A Medusa Thread was awarded a Preview Production at University of California Santa Barbara’s LAUNCH PAD. Jones has received the Many Voices Fellowship and the Jerome Fellowship from the Playwrights’ Center in Minneapolis in addition to a MacDowell Fellowship. She has been awarded the Lanford Wilson Award, the Kesselring Prize, and the Steinberg Playwright Award. Jones currently lives and works in New York.
