Board & Advisory
guiding and supporting
The Board of Directors creates policy, provides advice to our artistic team and helps to ensure Studio 180’s organizational and financial health.

Our Advisory Council also supports the company’s growth by lending their endorsement, offering their personal and professional expertise, and helping to identify potential opportunities for partnership and growth. Our Board of Directors and Advisory Council members come from diverse personal and professional backgrounds, but all share a passion for theatre that matters
