Jacques St. Louis
Trustee
Jacques joins the SPAC family as a bit of a techy. He’s worked in the technology field for nearly 20 years. Currently the Sr. Director of Information Security for a private jet company. New to theater, he fell in love with SPAC and the SPAC family. As his daughter joined the SPAC family as a performer, it was clear he began enjoying the title “Theater Dad”. Wanting to be a part of the magic, Jacques began volunteering for set builds, audio tuning, and overall support for this beautiful and historic theater. When he’s not working on preventing hackers from accessing systems, Jacques loves music, and as a hobby, loves to DJ. Somehow this hobby led to professionally DJing weddings, Sweet 16’s, and many other private events. Humbled and excited to be part of this great team, surrounded by talented and gifted individuals, he’s dedicating his time to making sure performances sound great, look great, and making the Smithtown community and others proud of their theater.
