Jules Reaveley Snarr
Jules Snarr moved to NYC the day after she graduated from high school. She worked her way up the food chain at the company, Smith Barney, eventually becoming a junior analyst in the public finance division. While living in NY, she also pursued her love of theater, piano, and directing, performing through NYC and having a blast. In Chicago, she worked for Great American Management & Investments, Corp. as a junior analyst. Outside of business hours, she was lucky enough to pursue her acting, directing, and piano career. She was lucky enough to leave the finance world behind and jump headfirst into the performing arts. She has directed countless productions both artistically and musically in Utah, New York, New Jersey, and Chicago, and has led 100’s of production teams, theater staff, and actors throughout the nation. The amazing training and skills she learned in the performing arts and business world helped her as she entered the world of education.
Jules has worked at Legacy Prep since 2008. She taught musical theater and drama part-time to grades 7-12 for seven years, then shifted her attention to the littles where she taught music and theater to the K-6 grade students. She started the 3rd and 4th grade after-school theater program during her four-year tenure with the littles, however, she eventually moved back to teaching grades 5-9. Upon her return to the older grades, she became the Head of the Fine Arts department and loved every minute she spent with the Fine Arts team, and her students in the black box theater.
She is the proud mom of two beautiful daughters (both LPA alumni) and has worked in LPA’s District Administration since June 2020 as the Director of Marketing & Development. Jules loves our LPA community, and culture, and is proud to work alongside honest, strong, hardworking individuals in both our administration and our staff. Once a lion, always a lion!
