Josh LaBelle, Vice Chair

Josh LaBelle has served as the Executive Director of the Seattle Theatre Group (STG) since the spring 2001. Prior to assuming leadership of the organization, he spent the previous five years directing programming and overseeing operations for STG's historic theatres, The Paramount and The Moore.

During Josh's ten years with STG, he was an integral part of the team that took the stewardship of these theatres from a then for-profit business under the moniker of the Seattle Landmark Association to the notfor- profit STG. This effort included installing a board of directors and an advisory board and refining the vision, goals and strategic plan of the newly formed not-for-profit.

Before joining STG, Josh spent several years working as a musician where he had the opportunity to record and tour alongside such legends as T-Bone Burnett and Sam Phillips. Yet, the roots of his music career can be traced back to the four years he spent with the William Morris Agency in Los Angeles. At William Morris, he started out in the mailroom and eventually moved up to the Music Division where he assisted agents and booked concerts.

Josh holds a bachelor's degree in World, Art & Culture from the University of California, Los Angeles.
