I don’t know where else it might fit, but here is as good as any place. I’ve been involved in theater in one form or another for most of my life – as a kid, high school, and now community theater. My wife and I met on a travelling dramatic arts team. Currently, we do quite a bit with the community theaters here along the Gulf Coast such as Gulfport Little Theatre (where I currently serve on the Board of Directors) and the Pass Christian Theatre Project. Previously, we worked closely with the Waterworks Players in Farmville, Virginia. I’ve done plenty of design and marketing for theaters as well as roles on and off stage.
