I retired after teaching elementary school for 33 years in the Adams-Friendship School District. I worked at a variety of grade levels and they were all challenging in different ways, but I loved teaching and felt that it was important work. My interest in theater started in high school when friends asked me to help with a staging of Camelot. I found the work interesting and rewarding. The theater people were a joy to be with and they had great after parties. I worked two summer productions at St. Norbert’s College while attending UW-Green Bay. When I moved to the Adams-Friendship, it was natural to join the Sand County Players. I help build sets at Dellwood Pavilion, Splash, and the ski hill. I also helped with plays at the Adams-Friendship Middle School. I was asked to join Adams Community Theatre when it was first forming and I am constantly amazed at the talent that people bring to the various shows. I’ve always work on the technical side of productions but finally went on stage for two of A.C.T.’s radio shows. I am currently working on building a set for the musical Church Basement Ladies: A Mighty Fortress is Our Basement and making a lighting plan for the show.
