Speaking of ten years leading our community theatre, for Top Five Tuesday, here are my Top Five favorite moments from the past ten years of community theatre:

1. Spearheading the effort to raise money and replace the stage curtains.
2. Watching the implementation, growth, and success of our group’s annual summer Drama Camp which is inspiring and launching a whole new generation of young actors, writers, directors, stage hands, and lovers of theatre.
3. Watching people who have never been on stage before experience the natural high you get that first opening night.
4. Being on stage with Wendy and both of our daughters in different productions. I love that the stage is something that our family has experienced together.
5. Looking around at the picnic last night and seeing multiple generations of amazing people from those who founded our organization over a quarter century ago, to those who have been doing the blocking and tackling in recent years, to a flock of “theatre kids” who will lead our future.
