Technical Director
Whitney Hall
Lights/Sound
Whitney Hall (lights/sound) returns to the tech booth after last assisting with
Taming of the Shrew. As an engineer, she appreciated the pigs’ exploration of new technologies for home building material, but encourages kid to stick with the stability
of brick over either straw or sticks. Whitney will next light the stage for
Great Gatsby and invites you all back in April.
Sharon Henneke
Special Music
Sharon Henneke (pianist) After teaching piano for over 30 years and playing for everything from school and college choirs, church services, soloists, small singing
groups, community theater and providing restaurant dinner music, I am now retired.
But occasionally I still enjoy sharing my love for music and the piano, when I am not traveling with my husband, David, and dog, Coda.
Tom Lentz
director emeritus
Tom Lentz (director emeritus) graduated from the University of Wyoming with a
degree in Theater many years ago and has directed and acted in more plays and
musicals than he can recount - both in college, and at several community theaters not
only here but in Alabama and South Korea, to name a few. Along the way he instilled a love of live theater in his four children, all of whom have appeared over the years at the Gaslight. He established and ran a free theater program for children and young adults called DYNAMOS at Leonardo’s Warehouse. Among his favorite shows to direct have been A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Little Shop of Horrors, Godspell, and Grease. Watching his grandson, Sam, mature into a real director while bringing to life his daughter, Mary’s, original script has been the biggest joy of his career.
