Meet the Board
At Valley Shakespeare Festival, our Board of Directors is more than a governing body—they’re passionate advocates for the arts, champions of our mission, and active participants in bringing accessible, high-quality Shakespeare to communities across the region.
Made up of dedicated volunteers from a range of professional backgrounds, our board members lend their expertise, time, and creativity to ensure VSF continues to thrive—on stage, in schools, and in public spaces throughout the Naugatuck Valley and beyond.
Our Role
The Board provides leadership and strategic guidance for the organization, supports fundraising and community engagement efforts, and helps steward VSF’s long-term vision. Whether cheering from the front row or working behind the scenes, each member shares a commitment to making theater that’s bold, inclusive, and for everyone.
