Jessica Low
Founder and Executive Artistic Director
Jessica believes that the performing arts have the power to transform lives. As the Founder and Executive Artistic Director of Emerald City Performing Arts, she is passionate about training artists, building community, and inspiring excellence—both onstage and off.
A graduate of the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Arts in Drama, Jessica has spent more than two decades directing, choreographing, performing, and mentoring artists throughout the Pacific Northwest. Her award winning work has spanned professional theatres, educational programs, and youth organizations, giving her a unique perspective on developing performers at every stage of their artistic journey. Over the course of her career, she has directed and choreographed dozens of productions while mentoring hundreds of young artists.
In addition to directing productions, Jessica has led competitive musical theatre and performance programs, coaching students for festivals, competitions, and performance opportunities while fostering the discipline, confidence, and collaborative spirit that prepare them for success both onstage and beyond.
Throughout her career, Jessica has remained deeply committed to arts education. She believes that great theatre is built on more than talent alone—it is built on curiosity, discipline, collaboration, and the courage to take creative risks. Her rehearsal rooms are intentionally designed to challenge students artistically while fostering confidence, resilience, empathy, and a genuine sense of belonging.
Jessica founded Emerald City Performing Arts with a simple but powerful vision: to create a home where exceptional training and meaningful community exist side by side. She believes students thrive when they are known, encouraged, and inspired to pursue excellence while celebrating one another's successes.
Through ECPA, Jessica is committed to providing high-quality musical theatre training in an environment where every student is valued, every voice matters, and every artist is empowered to grow. Whether working with a student stepping onto the stage for the first time or preparing experienced performers for collegiate and professional opportunities, her goal remains the same: to develop not only exceptional performers, but thoughtful leaders, compassionate collaborators, and confident young people who will make a positive impact wherever life takes them.
