His experi- ence as Producer and Director of his own theatre "CENTE R STAGE" in Hollywood has provided him with valuable back- ground for his work as a community theatre director.

He has won two trophies as Best Director in this area, and is also familiar in this community for his work with Children's Theatre.

For a year he hosted musical vat ietv shows over TV Channel 3 in Eureka. Portrayal of Count Detleff marks Jeff's first appearance in a West Valley Light Opera production. JOHN P. HEALY, JR.
