Heather McAllister, a San Jose native, has recently become a member of the Friends of the Heritage Theatre board. With a background in theater arts from San Jose State University and experience across various theater hubs like Los Angeles and New York, she has returned to her roots to impact local education as a seventh-grade resource specialist teacher. McAllister believes in art's ability to foster community connections, and her appointment aims to enhance the Friends' support for the Heritage Theatre, a cultural landmark in Silicon Valley.
"Art brings people together, helps inspire thought, connection, creativity and joy. As for the Heritage Theatre, it is so beautiful, and it is a link to our heritage, from when Silicon Valley was the Valley of Heart's Delight."
"Heather is a great fit for the Friends, and we are excited to lean on her extensive experience in education and the arts to deepen our ties to the local community and further our support for the Heritage Theatre."
