It’s no surprise that Wendy became part of the Broadway world as she comes from a family who was firmly entrenched in the theatre and entertainment industry. Her mother and aunt performed on radio, television, movies, and the Broadway stage from the 1930s through the ‘60s, while her uncle, Paul Frees, was the voice of Boris Badanov, the Jolly Green Giant, and the Pillsbury Doughboy. She named her production company in memory of her famous uncle, whose biography was entitled “Welcome, Foolish Mortals.”
Wendy has a tremendous commitment to the theater arts and the generosity of her time is evident in her many philanthropic causes related to her profession. Wendy has served as a guest lecturer for many charitable foundations and spent countless hours throughout her career mentoring aspiring producers, actors, and writers.
She has been a continuous source of support and encouragement to interns and creative students of the arts providing advice and guidance, enabling them to begin their own successful careers. When her son was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, Wendy co-founded a new annual fund-raising event, “Broadway’s Got Guts,” which directly benefits the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to finding the cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Wendy has co-chaired the annual “Broadway’s Got Guts” event for the last four years.
