Jamie J Selected to Serve As New Executive Director of First Person Arts!
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am so pleased to announce that as of January 3rd, 2012, I will be the new Executive Director of First Person Arts!
First Person Arts is a Philly-based non-profit whose mission is to “transform the drama of daily life into memoir and documentary.” We produce an annual festival of theatre, film, literature and much more, offer classes and workshops throughout the year, and StorySlams every month. This is really a wonderful organization, and I am so looking forward to leading it into its next amazing phase of growth. I will be taking the helm from Vicki Solot, the incredible Founder of the organization, who will be retiring in December.
