Jeff Calhoun is the Broadway Director for Newsies, Bonnie and Clyde, Jekyll and Hyde, Deaf West's Theater Big River and more. He also directed Dolly Parton's 9-5 and Disney's High School Musical 1 and 2. He is an Associate artist for Ford's Theater Washington and serves on the Board of Directors for Covenant House International (not- for-profit helping homeless youth in 30 cities and 6 countries).
Jeff is very humble about his accomplishments but he has a depth of wisdom on everything from the challenge of creating a musical with half of the actors being hearing and half of them being deaf (think about that for a second...), how to build bridges between groups of people that can transcend labels, stigmas, and beliefs, and what it means to be an artist.
