Marc Falato ’87: A Gift of Transformation for the Arts at Lehigh
Six years ago, the arts at Lehigh were at a turning point.
“During the pandemic,” recalls Mark Wilson, executive director of the Zoellner Arts Center, “there was a lot of uncertainty about where Zoellner was going to be. Even asking the question: Would people miss Zoellner if it went away?”
The Zoellner Advisory Council, a group of advocates for the arts at Lehigh, were committed to ensuring that didn’t happen — most notably, Marc Falato ’87.
An investment banker turned producer, Falato had found success on Broadway as a producer of Tony award winning productions like Spring Awakening (2007) and Glengarry Glen Ross (2005). He remained connected and committed to the arts at Lehigh as a valued consultant, serving on the College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Advisory Council and as a long-standing member of Zoellner’s Advisory Council.
