Joe Sarafolean
Joe Sarafolean is a Twin Cities native who became captivated with the arts from a young age. His true devotion to theatre began when he was cast in Annie in the 5th grade and since then, it has grown into a full blown obsession.
Although he now works in corporate America, Joe still ensures that he carves out time to enjoy and elevate the arts.
When he is not attending various productions around the Twin Cities, he can be seen driving around town belting show tunes, enjoying a libation at a variety of local breweries and distilleries or enjoying a quiet night at home with his husband and two pups.
