Graham shares our goal of producing transformative music and musical theater for our community, and we are delighted to have a leader of his caliber at the helm of our wonderful organization!
Graham, Stefanie (also an amazing musician!) and their two children will be moving here from Grand Junction, where we all look forward to making them a treasured part of Ovation West Performing Arts.
We hope you are as excited about the future of our great organization as we are!
