SHE LOVES ME - Amalia Balash

Jess Zylstra, who plays the role of Amalia Balash, leads the cast. She is the perfect combination of an incredibly strong singer and a magnetic personality onstage who plays the part of the sales lady to perfection.
— Alan Jozwiak, League of Cincinnati Theatres
Jess Zylstra is snappy and hopeful as anxious love interest Amalia, who truly shines during a beautifully vulnerable musical number ‘Will He Like Me?’

SPRING AWAKENING - Choreographer

Musical Theatre senior Jess Zylstra’s choreography is inspired. It’s modern and accentuates the storytelling, as well as the mood of each scene.
— Kirk Sheppard, Sappy Critic
The choreography by Jess Zylstra captures the angst of the teens and fits the modern pulse of the music.
