Mrs. Jessica Garcia

Director/Producer

Mrs. Garcia comes from a tight-knit family in the Sacramento area. Her choir teacher in high school changed her life by telling her that she could sing, even though she believed she was tone deaf. From that moment, her love for theatre and music grew, as did her self-confidence, and she ended up majoring in Theatre Arts at California Polytechnic: San Luis Obispo.

She is thrilled she is currently teaching theatre at SAP, and this is her eleventh year here. 

She is proud to have directed: Annie Jr., Getting to Know The Sound of Music, The Lion King Jr., Beauty and the Beast Jr., Singin’ in the Rain Jr., Aladdin Jr., Frozen Jr., and Newsies Jr. BATB holds a special place in her heart as it was the first show she directed at five years of age during a family Christmas get together. She hopes this musical brings as much beauty, love, and hope to your lives as it has given her since it came out 33 years ago.

Ms. Chloe Ourada

Choreographer

Ms. Chloe is very excited to be involved with the show this year. She took three years of dance and theatre at Rocklin High School, performing in Once on This Island and 42nd Street. Last year, Ms. Chloe choreographed Newsies Jr. at SAP. She graduated last weekend from Saint Mary's College of California as an English major with Dramatic & Film Arts emphasis!

Ms. Anjolie Padilla

Choreographer

Ms. Anjolie is a senior who attends Junipero Serra High School and enjoys playing volleyball during her free time. Anjolie graduated in 2020 from SAP and attended SAP since Pre-K. She has decided to pursue a teaching career after spending many hours volunteering at SAP Daycare with her Mom, Mrs. Pattie Padilla. Anjolie will be attending Grand Canyon University during fall 2024 and hopes to come back and be a teacher at SAP.
