Krystof is the Artistic Director of New Stage Theatreworks and has directed four productions for them since launching in 2015: The Last Five Years, Assassins, In the Heights, and Green Day's American Idiot. He is so very thankful that we are back in the full swing of big shows and bigger audiences.

He would like to thank this beautiful young cast for their embracing of 1989, the incredible crew who brought all the tools to make this world come alive and his talented wife and Stage Manager, Rachael, for jumping back into the deep end after an adventurous health journey. Enjoy the show - it will be so very.
