American Detective Novel!” Keep
checking back for an update. |

Mike has been involved with theater since 1969, almost
as long as Judy! He has been on stage
as an extra in chorus and has tried his hand at acting, starting with small
bit parts then supporting roles. According to Mike, though, his best work in theater has
always been on the backstage side. He
has worked in every phase of backstage theater work – set building; stage
hand, props, sound, lights, set design, stage managing, producing, and even
directing. He currently serves as
Technical Director for ACT. To quote
Mike, “I am thrilled to be working with this wonderful bunch of people who
have the same drive for theater as I do.”
When he isn’t busy at his full-time job as a Storage
manager for Blue Cross Blue Shield, and his volunteer work with CenterStage,
Mike spends time as a Theater merit badge counselor for the Boy Scouts, a
teacher assistant for Affton High School theater department, and the
Auditorium manager for Affton High School.
Oh yeah… Mike’s wife and children are also active with our group. After all, it’s probably the best time to
see him! |

In October, 2004, Donna begins her 14th season with our
group. She’s been a Board member for
12 years, and served as Board secretary and historian. She has a lot of stamina, having done 39
shows in a row so far. She’s worked in
all areas of community theater… set design, set painter, canvas stretcher,
producer, assistant director, director, costume mistress, and props mistress. Although content to work “behind the
scenes”, She has appeared in a non-speaking part (a Klansman in
"The Foreigner") and a speaking part as an APPLE in 2004 past
children's show. As Donna says, “I can

Lorena is another long-time member of our group. Like Donna, she has worked with Affton
CenterStage Theatre Company 13 years, or 39 consecutive productions! As a matter of fact, she and Donna work
most of our shows together… they work so well together that sometimes we
think they’re joined at the hip!
Lorena has served on the Board for 12 years. She served as Membership Chairman for six
years and Historian for12 years.
As far as our productions are concerned, Lorena has been
involved in almost every aspect… Set painting and
construction; Props; Costuming; Assistant Directing; Producing… and (in her
spare? Time) has “pounded the pavement” to get ads for our programs and
donations for our group. As if we didn’t keep her busy enough, outside of Affton
CenterStage Theatre, she works as a secretary/customer service rep for
Manufacturers Rep company. She is also
involved in many church activities at the And – just to round things out – she spends much of her
“spare” time enjoying her 3 children and 2 Grandkids! |

Jeanne is one of the newest members of our Board, but
has been a part of our group since 1994 when she did publicity and the program
for "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." It was
during this production that she met her husband, Jeff. They have two
adorable boys, Zachary and Justin, who have also been bitten by the acting
bug. They were both in “Snow White” and had a blast. Not only has Jeanne acted in, directed and produced our
shows, she is also chair of our Publicity Committee, so if you have ideas,
know anyone or want to help with this, let her know. When not busy with
her theater crafts, Jeanne is an attorney. |

If you attended Affton High School sometime in the last
35+ years, you probably know Judy! She
was a Teacher at Affton High School for 36 years and is currently the Fine
Arts Coordinator for the Affton School district. Judy is our Executive Director. She runs the
business part of our theater company, assuming responsibility for
signing contracts, ordering supplies, paying bills and keeping the
books. She also sets the agenda for Board meeting and presides over the
meetings. She provides guidance to the
production staff and support where needed. Judy has a Masters Degree in Theatre and is Past President
of AATE (American Alliance for Theatre and Education). She has held many offices on the State and
local level in theatre education and is presently Chairman of the Metro South
