We're excited to welcome the gifted Willie Wilson to our Pride stage. On his 25th anniversary doing musical theatre, 2023 FOXY-winner and TONY-nominated Willie Wilson celebrates the thousands of NJ/NY kids who have performed on his stage. Willie's secret sauce is not the increase in talent he pulls out of each child. It is not the confidence and self-esteem he instills in his kids. It is not the lifelong friendships he navigates for many kids, some who never had a friend before. Willie's mission "to lead with love and kindness" is in everything he does. He creates a safe and brave space for theatre kids, who might be quirky, just like him. You will never find a kinder, more generous, or more playful human than Willie Wilson.
