Jess
Meyer
Theatre Booking Coordinator
Jess is absolutely thrilled to be joining the Meydenbauer Center Theatre team as the new Theatre Booking Coordinator. She has a background in theatre and performance, with a degree in musical theatre and a minor in arts entrepreneurship. She spent the last two years in New York City living out her childhood dream of residing in Manhattan and seeing as many Broadway shows as she could. She fell in love with the world of events while living in Denver, and most recently worked as the Event Manager at a children’s theatre in Brooklyn. Passionate about arts education and live events, Jess feels that working at Meydenbauer Center Theatre is the perfect next step in her career. She is excited to provide a smooth booking process and to set new and returning clients up for success. Outside of work, she enjoys Pilates classes, trying new recipes, and obsessing over her two miniature Dachshunds, Luna and Poppy. She looks forward to becoming a part of the vibrant Bellevue arts community and helping create memorable experiences for every guest who walks through the theatre’s doors.
