Last June, YAA’s Board of Directors unanimously elected Jamie Joeyen-Waldorf, a Broadway producer, entrepreneur, and HR professional currently working for The New York Times, to serve a three-year term as a full member of the Board. Jamie is the first YAA alum ever to serve in this capacity.

“Jamie will bring to the board vital skills in professional theatre production and human resources,” said YAA Board President Ollen Douglass. “She will also be able to share her unique perspective as a former student.”
Jamie made her Broadway co-producing debut on Terrence McNally’s Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune starring Audra McDonald and Michael Shannon. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University, double majoring in Theatre and Sociology with certificates in Marketing, Leadership, and Entrepreneurship.
”I’m thrilled to be able to give back to YAA, which taught me so many important life lessons when I was in high school,” said Jamie. “Plus I’m excited to serve as a liaison between the Board of Directors, the Alumni Advisory Board, and all YAA alums.”
Jamie served on the inaugural YAA Alumni Advisory Board, where she was instrumental in launching the alumni podcast “The Reprise,” which features interviews with former YAA students and is available wherever you get your Podcasts. She will now be an Ex-Officio member.
“As we enter our tenth season, the time is right to include a young alum in this leadership role,” noted YAA Producing Artistic Director Rolando Sanz. “Our alumni community is an essential part of our vision for YAA’s next ten years.”
