Joey has always had a love for the
performing arts. At the age of 5 his
parents forced him to take piano
lessons. Band programs occupied the
majority of his school years. In 1989 he
was introduced to the world of choral
music with the Disneyland Cast Choir.
Since then Joey has recorded with the
London Symphony and performed at
Disneyland Paris as part of the Azusa
Pacific University choir. Joey has also
performed with Cypress College
Masterworks Choral and Camerrata
over the past 13 years, most recently
recording the “50 Most Loved

Jack’s introduction to theatre began in Miami when his mother took him
to the Performing Arts Center to see touring companies of Gypsy (Angela
Lansbury), The Sound Of Music (Shirley Jones) and Annie Get Your Gun
(Debbie Reynolds) - ever since then there was no stopping him.
When he moved to Las Vegas at the age of 10, he was involved in
children’s theatre and graduated to community theatre projects, both on
and backstage. He eventually moved to California to go to Whittier
College and became immersed in the college theatre world where he
studied acting, directing, stage and lighting design. Upon graduation he
was an intern for the Utah Shakespearean Festival.
Returning to California he started working with the Whittier Community
Theatre directing their productions of Gypsy and Broadway Bound. He
eventually began directing for the La Habra Depot Theatre (Little Shop of
Horrors, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, A Funny Thing Happened on the
Way to the Forum, Our Town and Steel Magnolias), Costa Mesa Civic
Playhouse (the critically acclaimed A Midsummer Nights Dream), and the
Huntington Beach Playhouse (the award winning productions of Lend Me
A Tenor and the OC premiere of The Last Night of Ballyhoo). However his
home theatre was Newport Theatre Arts Center where he directed such
productions as Beau Jest, Rags, On Golden Pond, Arsenic and Old Lace
and The Man Who Came to Dinner and also served on their Board of
Directors for six years.
He also made the foray into Los Angeles to direct the world premiere of
Michael VanDuzer's Hopeful Romantic at the Celebration Theatre and
Beyond Therapy at the Gardner Stages in West Hollywood.
Jack’s extremely happy to be a founding member of Theatre Out with two
of his best friends.
