Meredith Armstrong (Facilities Manager)What started as an act of convenience has turned into years of commitment to caring for GreenStage’s diverse assortment of theatrical goodies. From Fluffy the Deer to the smallest plastic kazoo, from Falstaff’s belly to Lear’s storm, from Juliet’s red dress to Bottom’s donkey ears, if it is in our collection, she will help you find it. (Actually, she’s a little scared by how much she knows about the contents of the storage space. For instance, she knows where all of those items are without having to look.) Thank you for coming out to the park and supporting live theatre! |
Amy Bogaard (Production Manager)Amy Bogaard first worked with GreenStage in 2020, which was performed via Zoom rather than in the parks.
