Isaac Conner (Director) is the child of hippie travelers, and has been exploring, expressing, and performing since the time he could crawl. Settling in San Diego, Isaac worked as an entertainer/server at the rude-to-the-patrons themed Dick’s Last Resort, sang in bands, and started a radio show before moving to the East Coast to be closer to his family. Since then, he helped build WXPI Radio as station manager, formed Billtown Burlesque, and has been in dozens of straight plays and musicals. He anticipates a move in the near future to continue pursuing his love for theatre and is honored to be directing for RiverStage Community Theatre! Go Wildcats!
