Amphibian Stage Productions Announces New Director of Marketing and Development

Amphibian Stage Productions (Kathleen Culebro, Artistic Director) is thrilled to welcome Kristi Wiley as the new Director of Marketing and Development. In this role, Wiley will lead the development and execution of the strategic marketing plan, audience development initiatives and oversee the creation and implementation of a robust fundraising plan in order to raise awareness and funds for Amphibian Stage Productions.

"We're delighted to have Kristi join our team," says Kathleen Culebro, Artistic Director. "She brings a wealth of experience with her, including knowledge of our great industry from acting to production; front of house to marketing and development. I have no doubt that her insights, energy and passion will lead Amphibian Stage Productions to new levels of success. Definitely to the 'Next Leap!'"

Wiley worked for Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Fort Worth most recently as their Development Manager with a focus on individual giving and cultivation events. She holds a B.F.A. of Theatre from Texas State University and earned her M.F.A. from University of Alabama/Alabama Shakespeare Festival. Other experience includes studying with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon, U.K., actor management at Creative Talent in NYC, serving as House Manager for Casa Mañana and co-founding Duke City Repertory Theatre in Albuquerque, New Mexico (www.dukecityrep.com).

"I am so excited to work with the incredibly talented and energetic team at Amphibian Stage Productions," Wiley said. "I was looking for an opportunity back in the theatre but especially with a company where the work speaks for itself. There is some amazing theatre happening on South Main, right here in Fort Worth, and I can't wait to spread the word!"
