Last year came a wonderful opportunity for Jane to step aside from acting and into the world of teaching!
During her run in West End musical Mamma Mia!, Jane was offered a part time teaching position at a local college where she would teach Theatre Studies. Despite a hectic 7 shows a week in London, Jane still managed to find the time to commute back and forth to the Warwickshire college. It was further to this that Jane was then offered a post at a local school as Drama teacher, which she took up at the end of her Mamma Mia run.
It is possible that Jane will appear here and there on our screens in the foreseeable, however teaching is now Jane's priority, allowing her much more time to spend at home with her family.

"Oh no doubt about it! It's a brilliant show and so much fun. It's a wonderful feeling being able to come to work every day and enjoy yourself and to work with such talented people. I'm really happy."

"As for Baroness Bomburst, Jane Gurnett was wonderfully over the top in every way. For an actress with any pretensions to comedy, it’s a part to kill for and Gurnett took it by the throat and wrung every last laugh out of it. And I loved Chu-Chi Face!!"
