Sean frequently attended theatrical performances in NYC, where his and Brad’s shared passion for live theatre evolved into a deeper commitment. They launched their own production company and became investors in Broadway shows including Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, The Color Purple, Of Mice and Men, Groundhog Day,and Dear Evan Hansen. As their interest grew, so, too, their involvement. Currently, they are co-producers on the musicals An American in Paris, Anastasia, and The Band’s Visit, with plans to support future productions.
In addition to his love of theater, Sean enjoyed writing. He wrote a one-act play and was accepted into Edward Albee’s playwriting class at the University of Houston.
