Don has been working with Post Playhouse in some capacity since 2008. A lot has changed since that first season. He married the lovely actress who played opposite him in South Pacific, they had three crazy, adorable children, and they moved to Chattanooga. Lately, Don has been providing Post Playhouse with IT support, and he is happy to be able to continue to help the theatre in this way.

Brooke truly loves being a part of the joy that is Post Playhouse. Though she currently spends her days behind a computer, crafting social media posts and ensuring the ticketing system does its job, she fondly remembers her days on the stage. It’s an honor to support the incredible talent at Post from afar— the beautiful, lake-filled Michigan. Brooke’s other passions include her two wonderful sons, her loving husband, and her ever-expanding career as an author and playwright.
