Board Vice President of Development

You may recognize Rodney as the dentist from Little Shop of Horrors or perhaps Bill from Mamma Mia, but more likely you remember him as the circus strong man in Tuck Everlasting or Rocky in The Rocky Horror Show V - Family Reunion. Those seem to have a lasting impact on people for some reason. Perhaps clothes really do make the man. But in reality, he is a stage dad, a set builder, an attention hog, and general cheerleader for The Theatre Company. Rodney is very humbled by your continued support of a place and community he loves so dearly.
