Original Stories. Original Characters. Original Worlds.
Jackie Murray Productions develops original work for the stage, screen, digital platforms, and live audiences.
From musicals and scripted comedy to animation and stories inspired by lived experience, each project begins with a simple idea: create something worth sharing.
Some projects are already reaching audiences. Others are being developed for what comes next.
Take a look at what we're creating.
ASPIRE!

Aspire! has already taken its first steps from page to stage through a staged reading, as Jackie Murray Productions continues developing the musical for future production.

Bird Afraid of Heights • Inspire Aspire • A World of Stone
THE PETTY SQUAD
Comedy. Characters. Boundaries. Petty on Purpose.
The Petty Squad is an original comedy and lifestyle brand built around four very different personalities: Coco, Nikki, Avery, and Nova.
Through short-form comedy, recurring series, relatable situations, and merchandise, the Squad turns everyday frustrations, boundaries, and those wonderfully petty moments of life into entertainment.
The growing Petty Squad universe includes recurring original content such as Petty University and Is It Petty Approved?, with each bringing its own flavor to the Squad's world.
Petty University is an entertainment/content property within the Petty Squad universe.
KICKIN' KIDS
Learning. Laughter. Little Adventures.
Kickin' Kids is an original animated preschool series created by Jackie Murray Productions, featuring Amara, Milo, and Nia as they learn, play, and explore the world around them.
Designed for young children and families, the series combines colorful characters, music, movement, humor, and age-appropriate learning in short, engaging adventures.
From letters and early learning concepts to everyday discoveries, Kickin' Kids is being developed as a fun digital series where education and entertainment kick it together.
