Meet the Director
Ms. Jess Smyly is the director of the ACTING UP! Kid’s Program at South City Theatre. Jess is a SCT kid’s workshop alumnae and has starred in her fair share of plays and musicals as a kid and teen. When not at the theatre, Jess is a Pre-K teacher and enjoys spending time outdoors. She is a self-proclaimed “Hallo-QUEEN” and enjoys all things spooky. Jess says that her favorite thing about theatre are the people you meet along the way. She is still friends with her “crew” from her days of SCT kids workshops, including her best friend, Maddie, who she has been friends with for 15+ years. “Theatre brings you the greatest people you will ever meet, and gives you a place to be loved, accepted, and CELEBRATED for exactly who you are.”
