Jonathan Moscone (born October 5, 1964) is an American theater director, and currently the Chief of Civic Engagement for Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California. Formerly the artistic director of California Shakespeare Theater (Cal Shakes) in Berkeley and Orinda, California for 16 years, Moscone received the inaugural Zelda Fichandler Award, given by the Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation for his transformative work in theater in 2009.
Moscone was born in San Francisco, the youngest child of George Moscone and Gina Bodanza; his father was a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors at the time of his birth, and later became a state senator and Mayor of San Francisco. His siblings are Jenifer (born in 1957), Rebecca (born in 1960), and Christopher (born in 1962). When he was 14 years old, his father was murdered by former Supervisor Dan White. Jonathan's mother fell into a deep, multi-year depression and Jonathan did not speak about his father's death publicly for 20 years.
Moscone attended junior and senior high school at Saint Ignatius College Preparatory in San Francisco's Sunset district, graduating in 1982. He attended Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where he majored in Theater and English, graduating in 1986. Moscone credits his father, who took him to the Civic Light Opera, for sparking his love of theater. As a youth, he also often went to matinees at the American Conservatory Theater.
