Behind the scenes at First Stage with artistic director Jeff Frank

Experience Milwaukee

In this episode, Steve spends some quality time with First Stage artistic director, Jeff Frank. Founded in 1987, First Stage is one of the nation’s most acclaimed theaters for youth AND the second largest theater company in Milwaukee.

As artistic director, Jeff works, speaks, and leads with passion in creativity and in positively impacting the lives of the young and not-so-young people who are part of First Stage.

• What’s Jeff’s background and how did that inspire what he does today?
• Why is First Stage so important for Milwaukee?
• What’s exciting about the next First Stage season?
• How can you get involved and support First Stage (hint: go see a performance!)

All this and more in a conversation from the heart.
