At first, I started co-producing shows and then was asked to join the Board of Directors. Now as a proud Board Member, I’m delighted to be presenting the upcoming Jamie deRoy & friends variety show with a wonderful group of talented alums to benefit the new plays development program at Primary Stages.”
