VOLUNTEER TESTIMONIALS

Our volunteers enjoy what they do. Hear from them why they help us out!

For over 40 years, community theatre and the sharing of it with the community has been a love of mine. The excitement and sense of accomplishment in all this has been one of the highpoints in my theatrical life.

—Joan Fuess

Through SLCA, I have discovered my interest as an ardent lover of theatre is the behind-the-scenes aspect to CTP productions. I have learned so much taking on different roles.

—Shirley Neiss

I began working on stage set dressing a few years ago and found my creative outlet niche for my love of color, designing and assisting directors to meet their creative visions for productions—and having a blast at the same time, meeting new people and making new friends.

—Anna Church

SLCA has been an important part of my family’s life since my son Peter took the stage in To Kill a Mockingbird in 2006. Since then, he has been in over two dozen productions, has developed into a talented musician, and has taken on various leadership roles, which I attribute largely to the confidence that theatre has given him. My older son, Steven, has also gained self-esteem through theatre and music, and he continues to enjoy performing as well.

—Susanne Keller

Directing the SLCA-CTP gallery provides me a wonderful opportunity to be involved in the selection of current artwork. Our region is filled with exceptionally creative artists, and it is a great privilege to work with them in our gallery.

—John Roy

As a retiree with a love of being involved in my community while using my “hands-on” carpentry skills, I became involved in CTP set construction. Our town is fortunate to have such a venue in our midst—and the maintenance of such a unique, historically significant structure is on the top of my “to do” list.

—Craig Daniels

Volunteering at SLCA has been one of the more enjoyable experiences of retirement. Collaborating with Sue Frost and other friends to create theatre productions is exciting and challenging and, most of all, fun. The Center has also given me the opportunity to connect with and be enriched by groups like Soul Rebel and the ARC. And working with talented children in summer programs is something I look forward to each year.
