THE PRODUCTION TEAM
FRANK DUNHAM JR, Writer, Director, I would like to introduce myself. I am Frank Dunham Jr., a New Yorker with a passion for theater, music, and dance. I lead a talented group of actors known as my "Tribe." With their support and the contributions of other professionals in the theater community, I have produced numerous plays and musical works for live audiences.
Growing up in a diverse community shaped my worldview and my fascination with people and their motivations. My love for storytelling started in childhood, fueled by my mother's passion for classic movies and live performances. I aim to create the same magical experience of being absorbed in a story for audiences.
