Amphibian Announces Toni and Bill Boecker as Chairs of Next Leap 2010

Amphibian Stage Productions is proud to announce its 11th annual benefit, Next Leap 2010, to be held on October 16, 2010. Amphibian invites its friends and supporters to celebrate a successful year of artistic achievement and herald in the 2011 season of theatre.

Amphibian is honored to welcome Toni and Bill Boecker as co-chairs of the event.

"Over the years the Boeckers and the Gorskis have been avid supporters of Amphibian" says Artistic Director Kathleen Culebro " and now we are truly honored that they have also generously agreed to lend their names-and home-to our annual event."

About Amphibian Stage Productions
Amphibian Stage Productions is a non-profit theatre company founded in 2000 by three alumni of TCU's Department of Theatre who wanted to produce innovative and engaging works of theatre that challenge the way we see the world around us. Now in its eleventh season, Amphibian has produced numerous groundbreaking and challenging plays (some regional premieres, others US or world premieres) that foster a deeper understanding of ourselves as members of the global community. The company is widely recognized for its stylistically and thematically varied scripts.
Committed to nurturing young and diverse audiences, Amphibian has developed a strong internship program, a summer acting workshop for teens, and a dynamic outreach project, Jumbies Fort Worth!, that is increasing the company's visibility and following. The group travels to schools and community centers, performing and spreading their message of multicultural collaboration and tolerance.

In addition, actors visit schools to lead acting workshops and talkback sessions with students. The company actively reaches out to young people and strives to foster a new generation of audience members by offering students very low cost or free tickets to all performances.
