Darcy Elora Hofer

Executive Director

A Michigan native, Darcy began her career as a theatre professional at the Purple Rose Theatre where she worked side by side with Executive Director Jeff Daniels in various roles. She gave up a comfortable Equity stage managing career and moved to Chicago in 2004 to pursue a not-so-comfortable design career! Almost immediately she made her Chicagoland debut with Appetite’s production of The Years, and has been designing locally ever since. Now a company member, she is thrilled to have found her creative home.
