Meet the core workers of the show.
Director Valorie Myers Shannon comes to us from Utah and now is a resident of our area.

She has worked hard with this cast to approach this show with sensitivity and humor and knows you will enjoy this production.
Meet Betty Ems, a lady who you see at our box-office during most shows, but who has spent every night with the cast to ensure they know their lines before the show opens. Her dedication is our theatre is so important to the cast and our theatre.
