JANELL JOHNSON (Associate Development Director) works with charitable individuals who are inspired to Leave a Legacy in support of preserving musical theatre and increasing access to artful programs for youth in the community. In doing so, she partners with donors and their Professional Advisors to create meaningful giving plans reflected in wills, trusts, and property arrangements to benefit Village Theatre.
Throughout her career, she's had the fortune of working with generous people to explore their values and guide them through specific action steps that lead to transformational gifts. She says, "there is no greater joy than to support individual generosity and witness these special gifts at work in the lives of others."
