CONGRATULATE JEFF BY DONATING!

First Stage's longtime Artistic Director, Jeff Frank, was recently elevated to Executive Artistic Director! His 25+ year commitment to this organization and youth development make him the perfect person to lead the organization into the future.

“For 30 years it has been my privilege to work at First Stage. I am excited to deepen our impact on the lives of young people even further in my new role as Executive Artistic Director.” — Jeff Frank

Jeff's demonstrated passion for and commitment to the organization goes beyond his leadership role. Jeff and his and his wife Sarah Hunt-Frank recently donated $25,000, which our Board then matched, to create an inspiring $50,000 match opportunity for the community of First Stage.

We encourage you to join our leadership today to ensure that First Stage continues to ignite creativity and transform lives in our community for years to come.
