"We are excited and grateful to have the expertise of Dr. Jeff Gardere," says Stegall. "His aptitude for fostering development and supportive communication will be helpful to HB as we continue to grow."

Gardere, who in his professional work fosters self-fulfillment among his patients, expressed interest in assisting HB Studio with the development of young theater artists.

"Joining the Board of the legendary HB Studio is certainly an honor and a privilege, but it is also an incredible opportunity for me to help HB Studio continue to connect and professionally train youth, especially minority youth, to find and give expression to their inner beauty, dreams, passion, and truth," said Gardere.
