What they say about her: Without her, our website, social media, programs, ads, marketing materials, and set design would be non-existent! She builds our sets and makes sure the theatre shines, online and onstage. In her own words: What sparked the idea to work with WRLT? Through my best friend and business partner, Jaimie Miller. As long as I've known her, Jaimie has been deeply involved in local theatre, while my own background was rooted in the local visual arts and music scene. After Jaimie and I opened our local businesses (Between Friends Coffee and Between Friends Publishing) her world naturally began to overlap with mine. Whenever Jaimie was in local productions, her fellow castmates and theatre leaders often stopped by the coffee shop to support her. Those early conversations opened my eyes to how vibrant and welcoming the theatre community is in Central Georgia. How do you enjoy helping the theatre? I currently serve on the WRLT Board of Governors as head of the Publicity Committee. Essentially, if it connects our productions to the community visually or digitally, I have a hand in it. I actively volunteer for almost every production, including stage management, set design, and box office duties. If you attend a show, chances are you'll spot me in action! What stands out on a night at WRLT? I like to stand in the lobby on show nights, quietly watching as the audience filters in. In that moment, they step through our doors and leave behind whatever is weighing on them. There's excitement in the air as guests stop to admire posters, flip through Playbills, and take in the environment before the curtain rises. Faces light up with anticipation. In those small moments, I can already see the theatre doing its work; drawing people in, making them feel connected, and reminding them that for the next two hours, we have the privilege of crafting a unique, shared experience together… and that's the true magic of live theatre.
