Creative Director
Formed in 2009, the non-profit Festival Stage was established to create performance, development, education and arts events opportunities. It began with a LORT-level series of new plays, contemporary classics, and collaborations including ones with Wake Forest University Theatre and the Wake Forest Health ALS Center, among them projects merging the worlds of arts, medicine and education.
