Board of Directors
Randy Milligan
President
As the future president of RP Randy looks forward to the new challenges and joy of participating in the adventures that await the theatre. Christy has left a lasting legacy that will be hard to match but if he can just follow in her footsteps and finish the projects she instigated Randy will be satisfied. He is very pleased with the team that has been assembled. Reorganization has given him two new Vice Presidents to handle operations and personnel, two creative and capable officers to conduct business. The new treasurer has vision and insight. The secretary Kate has done an outstanding job, and has volunteered to continue her good work. And new board members bring wisdom and excitement to the table. Theatre of the people, by the people and for the people. True community theatre. Randy's credentials include a BFA in Theatrical Performance, an MFA in Theatrical Direction, Artist-in-Residence in puppetry and Video Production. His first major role was Sir Joseph Porter KCB in a 5th grade production of "HMS Pinafore." Theatre's been his life.
