Morgan Davis :: Operations Manager & Director of Strategic Communications

Morgan Davis became involved in arts promotion at an extremely young age, creating a “grass-roots” campaign based on sidewalk chalk to inform neighbors about upcoming lemonade stand and street theater performances (which she also managed and directed). She supplemented these efforts by publishing a neighborhood newspaper, with a bi-monthly circulation of three households. Morgan has continued to work in arts & entertainment promotion ever since. Recent projects include public relations for the San Francisco Film Society’s 50th anniversary festival, PR and celebrity coordination at SHN, San Francisco’s premiere Broadway connection, and community outreach & media development for the Traveling Jewish Theatre’s 30th anniversary season. Morgan’s full name anagram is ‘SF avid organic dreamer’, which everyone who knows her thinks is pretty fitting.
