Meet Sarah Boone
Executive Director of Theatre Jacksonville
Sarah Boone has had a diverse career in
television, radio and theatre across the country as a performer, director,

Florida State University with a BA in Theatre and continued her theatrical
training in NYC studying acting with HB Studio founder Herbert Berghof and

Following a Rotary Foundation graduate

at American University in Washington, DC where she earned an MA in Arts
Management and Communications. She has
held management positions at LA’s Geffen Playhouse and New York's Westside
Theatre off-Broadway and has overseen the production of more than 70 plays,
musicals and concerts over the past 15 years.
In addition to her producing credits, she has enjoyed continued success
as a cabaret artist with appearances in Florida (including the Happily Red concert series she created
at Theatre Jacksonville), Los Angeles (First
and Hope Supper Club) and in New York (The
Duplex, Don’t Tell Mama, The Triad, The Metropolitan Room).
Sarah is currently the Executive Director of
Theatre Jacksonville and has been a Consulting Producer with the California
International Theatre Festival since 2008.
What is a PET? Most of us never give it a second thought. However, for more than 20,000,000 people in developing countries who are unable to walk, it is a major concern. These individuals have suffered the loss of mobility because of landmine explosions, illness, birth defects, disease, or accidents. The three-wheeled, hand-powered PET wheelchairs, manufactured by PET-Florida (and other PET affiliates), provide a means for these physically challenged individuals to achieve the “gift of mobility”. And you have an opportunity to help provide that gift!
So whatever your skill level, if you want to build “wheelchairs on steroids,” send James Chansler an email ( jchansler51@hotmail.com ) to sign up and for carpooling information. We will be leaving around 8:00 a.m. and returning at 12:30 p.m. Thank you for being South Jacksonville Rotarians!
