The leadership team includes Managing Director Lesley Currier, Business Manager Noah Rojas-Domke, Education Director Elana Kepner, Artistic Director Jon Tracy, Production Manager Leontyne Mbele-Mbong, and Technical Director Jackson Currier. Teaching and program staff include theater artist and educator Nicolas Poler, actor, visual artist, playwright and poet Aisha Rivera, LAMDA-trained actor Andrew Vose, performer and educator Abigail Wissink, and actor and theater major Jordan Woolley.
