Meet the "Blind Runner" Honorary Producers

Honorary Producers are the essential supporters who bring South Coast Repertory’s productions to life. Their generosity, paired with our artists’ talent, ensures the world-class theatre for which SCR is known.

Now in their second season as Season Producers, they served as Chairs for PEEK! last season, with Lea returning as co-chair for this year’s event. Their generosity and leadership have helped SCR thrive both on its stages and throughout the community.
