Jaene Leonard 
(Producing Director)
Jaene joins Wily West as our new Producing Director.  Jaene has an extensive background in acting, directing and writing that spans two coasts.  Jaene will be our on-the-ground coordinator for production and will be exploring new possibilities for Wily West on several fronts!  Jaene will start her artistic contribution by joining the writing team for our summer shows!

Bridgette Dutta Portman 
(Associate Artist) 
Bridgette is already a familiar face in the Wily West family but this year she steps up as an associate artist.   Bridgette’s playwriting career is quickly gaining steam and last year her plays for SUPERHEROES brought Wily West some critical acclaim - we are so thrilled we will have her energy for this season - She has big contributions to make!  Bridgette will be a part of the summer show writing team.

Colleen Egan
(Associate Artist)
Local actor, and native San Franciscan, Colleen Egan has long been associated with Wily West and has already directed and acted for us numerous times.  Some of you may have seen Colleen’s truly stunning performance in last season’s DROWNING KATE.  

Genevieve Perdue
(Associate Artist)
Theatre maker Genevieve Perdue brings her multi-talents to our team and we couldn’t be more thrilled. If you saw last year’s DROWNING KATE and UN-HINGED you were treated to some terrific scenic and costume design which was the product of Genevieve’s tireless effort – and on top of that she is a damn fine actor many theatre companies and ensembles would give their eye teeth to have on their roster!

Karl Schackne
(Associate Artist) 
Actor and Playwright Karl Schackne has already proven to be a talented writer and a  loyal helping hand on projects last season.   This year he joins us as a core artist.  We are so thrilled to have as part our team.  Karl brings his unique voice once again to the writing team for our two summer shows!
