About the director

Adrian Balbontin has worked professionally directing and assisting at PCPA Theaterfest (2008 Directing Intern), the Utah Shakespearen Festival, the Aurora Theater in Berkeley, and the Phoenix Theater in Arizona. He has worked with and studied under such directors as Roger Delaurier, Brad Carroll, Patricia Troxel, and Barbara Damashek.

One of his most satisfying jobs was returning to the theater he grew up working in, to direct Jacob Marley's Christmas for SLOLT's reader's theater in 2007.

Buoyed by that experience, Adrian is taking his time this year to help strengthen the theater community he grew up in, before pursuing a Master's Degree in Directing.
