Young Actors' Theatre

ARTISTIC TEAM 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. Some directing favorites include: The Music Man, Beauty & the Beast, Seussical, Peter Pan, Legally Blonde, You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Les Miserables, Ragtime, West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof. Jean is extremely grateful to her children, grandchildren, and her husband for all of their ongoing support.
Jason Tarlov

Assistant Director/Stage Manager

Jason’s sound design credits include: Ragtime, Annie, Into the Woods, Mary Poppins, Millie, Mamma Mia, Lion King and Legally Blonde (YAT); Jungle Book (CYT). He is also a technical advisor to St. Augustine High School and The Academy of Our Lady of Peace. Jason is excited to have this opportunity to rock around the Christmas tree with Jean (his favorite director).
Matt Ignacio

Music Director

Matt is a cantor and director of the Youth Choir at St. John of the Cross Catholic Church, where he recently starred as Joseph in the SJC Drama Ministry's production of Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He is always thrilled to musically direct in YAT productions. He loves being able to work with such talented students.
Chelsea McCalley

Choreographer

Chelsea has grown up in Young Actors' Theatre and is so happy to be a part of this holiday season! She has continued her love for performing at the Disneyland Resort for the last 6 years in shows including Jedi: Trials of the Temple in Tomorrowland, Frozen, Tangled, and Beauty and the Beast at The Royal Theatre. After graduating from California State University Fullerton in 2017, she moved home to San Diego to peruse her career in makeup and photography. She enjoyed working with this talented cast and hopes everyone feels the joy of Christmas in their hearts after watching the show!
