LISA: Theatre was the only thing I was truly good at. Seriously, I COM THEATRE
knew from very early on that I wanted to make my living in the YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN
theatre. There was never any question. We were poor for much based on the Comic Strip “PEANUTS” by Charles M. Schultz
of my childhood and I had a teacher who always seemed to find a Book, Music & Lyrics by Clark Gesner
“scholarship” for me to take classes. She also took me to and from Jan. 24 – Feb 10, 2019
the theatre every Saturday. She changed my life.

LISA: I truly left the theatre for about ten years but I still did little
projects for my church. That’s where I did my one woman show THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS
fir the first time. Then, at a college reunion, a dear friend pulled me A Serious Fun Children’s Series Performance
aside and said, “If I had a successful one person show, I would try Feb. 14, 2019
to make some money from it.” The show kept my toe in the water.
After that it was a matter of making sure my two youngest kids were NEIL BERG’S 50 YEARS OF ROCK AND ROLL
on their way to graduation from High School. I’m still part time and Feb. 16, 2019
am honored to be part of H.Russ Brown’s team at COM, but I hope
to be more active once the kids leave the nest. CLEAR CREEK COMMUNITY THEATRE

insane!” IN THE WINGS [Opening Soon]
