Jean Zuiker

Jean Zuiker has been an Evanston resident since 1988, and is now retired after 40 years in the medical device and pharmaceutical industry, most recently at Takeda Pharmaceuticals. Her timing was fortuitous, as the company relocated to Boston right afterwards—she couldn't move away from Chicago and its wonderful theatre scene! Jean is especially appreciative of the smaller, “storefront” theatres. She was introduced to them a number of years ago by her son, who got his career start designing sets for several of these companies, most notably Boho Theatre. Jean helped establish the first board of directors for Boho, and served as its president for a number of years. She looks forward to serving Theo and its community.
