Meet Our Teachers
Ms. Kelsey
I have been involved with community theater productions for almost 30 years. In addition to performing, I lend creativity where I can through choreography, teaching and makeup design. Though I have always been a dancer and writer at heart, I studied film makeup at Make-Up Designory in Los Angeles and have had the pleasure of working on several professional film and music video sets. My favorite role of all time, though, is being a wife to an amazing husband, Jordan, and a mom to two beautiful and amazing children, Haven and Titus. When I’m not teaching here at CTAP, you can find me homeschooling my children, cooking, reading, and serving at my church. I serve in several ministries, as well as being a member of the amazing worship and tech team. I have had the great honor of writing and directing several VBS skits, singing with the worship team, and you will often find me directing multi-camera church services. In everything I do, no matter what it is, I desire to bring all glory to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who is the one true source of all hope, peace and love.
Ms. Jenna
My name is Jenna and I have not only been raised in theater, but have also been teaching theater for over 15 years. I earned my degree in Theater Arts from Vanguard University, and am now a middle school and high school theater teacher and director of the theater arts program at Rancho Christian School. I love CTAP and especially love helping young performers fall in love with theater and discover skills they didn’t know they possessed.
Mr. Nick
My name is Nick. I am a teacher and the Artistic Director here at CTAP. I’ve been with CTAP since 2019. I’m a professional performer from the SoCal area. My wife introduced me to the organization back in 2017 and I never left. I became a class sub, then teacher, then director and now artistic director. It is an absolute blessing to watch these students grow into the wonderful humans God has created them to be and watch them share their insane talents with the world.
Ms. Jennifer
Hello. My name is Jennifer and I am so excited to be leading an adult class. As the Executive Director of CTAP, I have worked with people of all ages and love that so many families are interested in learning more about the theater and acting. As a teacher and director for the last 35 years, both in schools and private theaters, I love the opportunities that the Lord is giving to me and CTAP. Many of the adult acting students are taking an opportunity to perform alongside their children and students - what a joy! Come join in on the fun! See you soon!
Mr. Danny
My name is Danny and I am thrilled to teach and contribute as a Music Director here at CTAP. I grew up around theater and participated in both choir and theater throughout my high school and college career. Soon after college, I was hired to helm the theater and music programs at Calvary Murrieta Christian School (2013-2020), and I now currently run the secondary music programs at Rancho Christian School (2021-current). Some of my favorite roles I have played are: Charlie Brown in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown"; The Baker in "Into the Woods"; and Judah/Pharaoh in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". One of my greatest joys in teaching is sharing the gift of music that is provided to us through the mercy and goodness of Christ Jesus. I hope to show my students God's goodness and His plan for us as His followers through the study of music and the dedication it takes to foster the talents He gives us. 2 Cor. 12:9-10
Mr. Jeff
I am thrilled to be teaching and directing with CTAP yet again! I began directing for this organization back in 2007 and throughout my theater career have found myself constantly coming back home to be amongst these incredible students. I have a Bachelor's degree in Theater Performance and Directing and a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Acting. I specialize in the Sanford Meisner Acting Technique and the Michael Luggering Theater Movement technique. I’ve worked professionally as an actor for nearly 20 years including film, TV, industry and theater on both coasts. However, my greatest achievement was marrying my beautiful wife Emily back in 2008, followed by the blessing of two incredible daughters, Eiley and Margot. It is my absolute joy that I get to hang out with them while pointing others to Christ and teaching the art I love. Colossians 1:28
Mr. Pat
Patrick Levis joined the C-TAP family in the Summer of 2025, performing in a family show, then jumping in as a teacher in the Fall. He is husband to the beautiful soccer coach rockstar Natalie, and dad to 4 unbelievably fun little ladies named Evan, Brennan, Finley, and Remington. Maryland-born, but at a young age God directed his steps into the world of musical theater in New York, which led to a career as a child actor and eventually brought him to Southern California. Patrick enjoyed nearly 2 decades in the entertainment industry, but his greatest passion is Jesus and caring for others as a pastor in the local church, which is what he does now (outside of teaching C-TAP classes). Since 2016, he has served as the Worship Pastor at Faith Bible Church in Wildomar, CA; together with his family, he loves to be with their church fam, sing, dance, hike, travel, grill pizza, and go to the beach.
Ms. Kendall
Kendall has been apart of CTAP since it first started and has grown up with this family. She has been in over 15 shows and loves to be on stage. She recently graduated from Temecula Valley High School (GO BEARS!) and already has one year of teaching and choreographing for CTAP under her belt. Dancing is one of her biggest passions and has been dancing her whole life. She danced competitively at a young age as well as through the TVHS dance program. She is proficient is many styles and was even the captain of TVHS’ varsity dance team. She loves working and inspiring these hard working kids and finding new ways make the theater experience even more fun!
Ms. Emily
Emily has loved theater ever since she saw You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown as a 7th grader. Since then, she’s only been on stage in one production, but she has watched hundreds, helped backstage for 10, written two, and stage managed one. She has also prepped her own children for dozens of auditions, and she considers finding the perfect audition song exhilarating. She loves that the Lord made us with the ability to create, bring His joy to others, and point to Him through theater!
