Jeff Rocco
Director
Jeff Rocco fell in love with theater when he was twelve years old and played one of the three little pigs in a production of Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf. Shortly after he saw his first Broadway show in New York and from that moment he knew a life in theater is where he wanted to land. He has worked on, off, around and adjacent to stages all over the country and he still can't decide which role he prefers. Jeff has been lucky enough to share his passion for theater as a teaching artist, a performer, a creator, and now as a producer. Favorite roles include the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz and Patrick in Mame, favorite projects Seussical, Stepsisters, You Can't Take It With You and so many more. Thanks to his supportive family, friends, and lovers of theater...the world is a stage so get out there and tell your story!
