JESSICA PAYNE

Jessica is thrilled to be a part of SF Follies! She is a professional actress, singer, and vocal coach in the Bay Area, recently seen in 42nd Street Moon's Girl Crazy and the SF premiere of Oh My Godmother!, where she is also a featured soloist on the cast
album.  Before hitting the city itself, Jessica and her handsome actor-husband Kyle toured the West Coast with the California Theatre Center in such shows as Madeline's Christmas, Goodnight Moon, and Brementown Musicians.  She also toured Shanghai and Fuzhou China with Miss Nelson is Missing!, the first English-speaking children's musical to travel to China.  Jessica originally hails from western Pennsylvania, and has her MFA in Acting from Western Illinois University.

“I love San Francisco because I am the real-world Millie, and I'm surprised, shocked, and delighted by something new at every turn!”
