Young Actors' Theatre
Crew Who's Who
-
Jean Isaac
Director
Jean has been working with kids and theater for nearly 25 years. After growing up in a youth theater that was a major part of her extracurricular activities, Jean felt the need to get her own children involved in theater. What started as a desire to present a school play through the PTA at her kids’ elementary school soon evolved into a regular program offering after school drama classes. Shortly thereafter YOUNG ACTORS’ THEATRE was born. Over the years, YAT has produced over 50 productions, and has seen hundreds of students train with us. Jean is extremely grateful to her children, grandchildren and her husband for all of their ongoing support.

Assistant Director/Choreographer
Perry studied at American Dramatic Academy for musical theatre. While in L.A., he trained with Jonathan Ingstrom, choreographer for a National Tour of 42nd Street and Chryssie Whitehead of the Broadway Revival of A Chorus Line (Kristine, “Sing!”). Since then he has choreographed and directed numerous shows. As an actor, he has performed all over San Diego for companies such as The Welk Resort, Starlight Theatre and Lambs Players Theatre. Perry loves being apart of this wonderful company; YAT has allowed him to express himself and his creativity.
