Jane Lang practiced law in Washington, D.C., for more than 30 years, becoming a successful litigator on behalf of victims of workplace discrimination with her late husband, Paul Sprenger, before undertaking a second career in the arts and philanthropy. She produced: the Helen Hayes award-winning play Leaving the Summer Land; the widely-acclaimed play Beyond Glory that traveled to Chicago, Broadway and around the world; Spunk; and, in 2008, Good Night Moon, which was recognized with three Helen Hayes nominations for excellence. Since 2001, Jane has devoted much of her time to the development and governance of the non-profit Atlas Performing Arts Center on H Street. She has received numerous awards for reinventing the Atlas and leading the revitalization of H Street NE in Washington, D.C., where she lives.
Jane has two children, three stepchildren and fourteen grandchildren. She is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Swarthmore College and holds a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. She serves on the Board of Trustees of the Atlas, the Eugene M. Lang Foundation and Swarthmore College.
Established in 2015, the Revada Foundation funds the arts and social justice. The foundation's board comprises four family members: Dan and Gloria Logan; their son, Andrew; and their daughter, Liz. The majority of the foundation's grantees are organizations in the D.C. area, and Dan Logan, the foundation's president, is particularly passionate about supporting theater in D.C. Dan believes steadfastly that theater is an essential art form—one with the power to spark conversation, catalyze social change and build communities. He also believes, as he says, “the arts are for everyone.” Dan's love of theater led him to co-found Mosaic with Ari Roth in 2014. The Revada Foundation has been the theater's leading supporter ever since.
