Bryan has always had a strong passion for the arts, with a deep affinity for music. He has spent much of his life learning instruments, exploring sound, and doing the occasional freelance musician or foley job. In 2022, Bryan began his journey with TTC volunteering in the lobby to support his wife, daughter, and nieces, who were all active members of the theatre. Sadly, tragedy struck his family in November of that year, when one of his nieces, Lorelai, passed away after a long fight with Ewings Sarcoma. Lorelai loved TTC and, after her battle ended, Bryan felt the need to do more for the place and people she loved so much.

Encouraged by Lorelai's passion, his family's continuing enthusiasm, and the incredible theater community, Bryan officially joined the crew during our 2023 season, contributing as a sound designer and soundboard operator for the productions of Cabaret and Freaky Friday. His dedication and appreciation for the TTC community led him to become a member of its board of directors that same year. Bryan, his wife, Patty, daughter, August, and niece, Abigail, hope to spread Lorelai's love and passion to all they can and encourage everyone to #livelikelorelai.

Board Vice President of Development

You may recognize Rodney as the dentist from Little Shop of Horrors or perhaps Bill from Mamma Mia, but more likely you remember him as the circus strong man in Tuck Everlasting or Rocky in The Rocky Horror Show V - Family Reunion. Those seem to have a lasting impact on people for some reason. Perhaps clothes really do make the man. But in reality, he is a stage dad, a set builder, an attention hog, and general cheerleader for The Theatre Company. Rodney is very humbled by your continued support of a place and community he loves so dearly.
