The Stage Oconee Board of Directors

  • Blake Edwards, President

  • Colin Moriarty, Vice President

  • Emily Murray, Secretary

    In my mind, The Stage is a home. It was a safe space for my girls while they were growing up, and is now a place where they can continue to grow as adults. Through them it’s become a home for me as well - a place where I’ve found new interests and new friends. I want to do all I can to make sure it continues to be a place where kids can come and find their people.
