Jessica Lenz grew up in the theater thanks to the creative folks of Children's Playtime Productions (CPP). Her first ever role was as a mouse in The Nutcracker at the age of 5. She performed in multiple productions a year after that, expanding beyond CPP to work with MusiKids, Palm Canyon Theater (PCT), as well as each of her schools' drama departments and she even started writing scripts, choreographing live dance shows, and producing music videos with her friends back in grade school. In middle school, Jessica won her first award for her acting; she was awarded Best Actress by the Desert Theater League in the Coachella Valley for her one-scene role as Gollum in The Hobbit, performed at the renowned McCallum Theater. In high school, she expanded her acting abilities into the realm of Shakespeare as the role of Katerina in Taming of the Shrew, dabbled in mime, won Thespian of the Year as a high school senior, and was cast in her very first film role (and even had lines!!) for Zombie Day Afternoon. After graduating, Jessica adventured to UC Santa Barbara, where she earned her Bachelor's of Arts degree in Theater Studies, worked with live event producers called IV Live, performed in and choreographed musicals with Out of the Box Theater Company and Shrunken Head Productions, as well as helped to establish a new community theater group, Elements Theatre Collective. Once she earned her degree, Jessica moved to Los Angeles to further pursue her career in entertainment. Since being in LA, Jessica has performed in theater, film, TV, web series, print, social media ads, and as live entertainment at community events. She is an actor, performer, dancer, singer, model, producer, director, writer, and artist based in Southern California, who strongly believes in the "all hands on deck" mentality and loves to create, play, dream, imagine, and explore!
