If you've spent any time around Old Fort Players, you know that when something needs fixing, Ty Clute is our guy! As a dedicated board member and our head of facility maintenance, Ty works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our theater safe, running, and ready for the public, whether that means climbing a ladder to get the stage lights perfectly dialed in or fixing a sudden maintenance issue.
But his service to Fort Madison doesn't stop when he leaves the theater. By day, you can find Ty working hard for the Fort Madison Public Works department, keeping our city streets clean and beautiful.
The ultimate definition of a hardworking community member, Ty wears many hats. And this summer, he's adding one more as a member of the cast for "George Washington Slept Here!"
We are incredibly lucky to have volunteers like Ty who pour their hearts into serving our community both on and off the clock. Next time you see him clearing brush around town or acting on our stage this July, be sure to give him a wave and a huge thank you!
Old Fort Players is thankful for our Community Behind the Curtain!
