Buzzz… invited local theaters to send a big, public thank you to the volunteers who make such a difference. We’ll applaud those volunteers all this week.
The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati offers their Standing O to many above-and-beyond-the-call volunteers, starting with:
Owen Wrassman of Bridgetown – “From driving The Children's Theatre’s float in the Opening Day Parade, to securing booths in which to sell merchandise at the theater, to acquiring furniture for our offices, to heading up our Board of Directors, Owen does it all!”
Maureen Sweeney of Glendale – “She’s a true angel for The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati. For the last six seasons, Maureen has been able to secure complimentary parking for subscribers of The Children’s Theatre and has donated hundreds of pounds of candy to sell in the lobby before productions. Maureen is also a Day Chair.” (See below.)
Let’s hear it for the Day Chairs, those volunteers who take responsibility for unloading 2000 children from buses outside the Taft Theatre on busy Fifth Street? And move a student audience into their designated seats? And accomplish this feat 40 times a year?
Send that round of applause to Day Chair committee head Emilie Dressler of Wyoming and her indefatigable team: Nancy Grote, Indian Hill; Kelly Sova, Loveland; Candy Thurner, Hyde Park; Maureen Sweeney, Glendale; and Jan Wrassman, Bridgetown.
