Managing/Artistic Director
Bethany Pithan
I'm very excited to work with the new board of Longview Stageworks, and continue creating an excellent cultural resource for Longview. Performing is my first love, but I'm finding that making the show happen on the other end can be just as full filling. I spent two years at The Pacific Conservatory for the Performing Arts in Santa Maria CA, then moved on to graduate from Point Park College in Pittsburgh, PA with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre. I not only hope to continue bringing quality theatre to Longview, but also set new standards of excellence and professional practice for the future of Longview Stageworks.
