Sad to report the passing of Hub Cloeter. Hub was musical director at Trinity Lutheran in Faribault and shared his love of music into the theater community. Hub, his wife Diane and their family did summer musicals in Kenyon and were founding members of the Faribault Area Community Theater, and avid supporters of The Merlin Players. Our hearts go out to Diane and the family. Sing a little song today in memory of Hub. ❤️

Arms and the Man Cast Spotlight!
Today we're featuring Mark Zollner. By day, he is a graphic designer, husband, dad, professional lawn keeper, bird feeder filler and garage sweeper. On the stage, he plays Nicola, the older house servant in a Bulgarian home in 1885. He is no stranger to the LTO stage! Mark says, his favorite show is the current show he's working on. The theater is a great place to create new friends and have fun with old ones. He enjoys learning new techniques and direction. Little known to many, except perhaps his wife Gail, Mark can fix anything that isn't broken - Haha!
