Artie Leger (director) has been loving the stage ever since his debut as Mickey Mouse in "Mickey Mouse's Surprise Birthday Party" in the sixth grade!
Artie has been a volunteer at the Footlight Club since the 2000 - 2001 season, first as Box Office Director for six years and is currently the Preisdent of the Board of Directors.
He has directed two dramas at the Club ("All My Sons" by Arthur Miller, and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", by Tennessee Williams) which both feature young children! However, this go around he wanted to direct a child-centric play, and Willy Wonka was just perfect!
Artie has lots of experience directing children's theater, the highlight of which would be "The Best Christmas Pagaent Ever" at St. Theresa's Theater Guild. He has worked as a child care provider for ten years at the YMCA and has run a children's theater program there as well. Artie is now a Human Resources Manager at the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
He cannot wait for the production to begin and looks forward to auditions and to meet some really talented enthusiastic people!
