Who are we?

President

From planning, to building, to acting, this construction laborer, and ballroom dancer, makes sure everything makes it to stage on time, and on budget. He specializes in keeping moral up, and is responsible for the general positive attitude around set.

Vice President

From directing, to stage managing, to singing. This Purdue tech employee is the backbone of Carnegie. She is the glue that holds the players together, and picks up on the little things that get forgotten by others. She is one of the two board members that could run an entire production single-handedly if necessary.

Treasurer

Having retired from nutritional advising at the local hospital. Jay now donates much of his time to his Church and to our theater group. He keeps the books, signs the checks, and is often the first call, when it comes to running errands around town, or filling in for dropped roles on stage.

Secretary

Local librarian, artist, needle worker. Don't let this quiet young lady fool you. She is a powerful talent both on and behind stage. She also heads up our costume department and can be found helping out around the whole production.

Membership Secretary

Working Mother, Carnegie historian, encyclopedia of theater knowledge, both local and national. She has been a long-standing board member of Carnegie, and can be found working front of house, stage managing, and anywhere else an extra pair of hands is needed.

Audio Engineer

With decades of audio experience under his belt, and a can-do attitude. This renaissance man is just as comfortable writing and playing his original compositions, sketching out some art on his tablet, as setting lights and sound levels for a scene. His knowledge, work, and creativity make our group speak and shine at every event.

Grant Writer

Line dance teacher, dance composer, former piano teacher, and general all-around ball of positive energy. Aurora has taken our grant writing bull by the horns, and occasionally finds time to run concessions and pick up bit parts in our stage productions.

Social Media Lead

Former local radio celebrity, mother, and altogether most likely to be overbooked, over-volunteered, overstretched for time, and enjoying every minute of it. Chrissy is a recent addition to the board. After overcoming her second round of stage fright in our spring production after being dared to participate by her teenage daughters, and realizing theater might be fun after all. 

Being a local finance guru, and adviser, Christine relishes the chance to get out and flex her creative side as our head of set dressing, as well as being a volunteer and board member for the Prairie Arts Counsel. She has acted in past Carnegie productions, and holds a minor degree in theater. The arts will always hold a special place in her heart.

Accomplished author, and playwright, avid bicyclist, actor, pianist, and Wizard of Oz collector. There is not much this force of nature will not tackle. Always a ready volunteer at every meeting, Peter makes up for his few physical shortcomings by pure volume of will and enthusiasm! 

This Member of Melody Makers of Jasper County, and retired law enforcement employee. Is a bundle of energy and persistence. She has made fast friends amongst the players since her debut in 'Saving Christmas' in 2024, and has continued to attend board meetings since. This passion for the organization has won her a place in our hearts and on our board.

This bastion of sound advice and former judge, has a passion for theater and Improv that he has passed down to his adopted son. He has gallantly stepped up to finish out the term of our former vice-president who sadly passed away last year, and in light of that we can almost forgive that he is an avid consumer of 'B' grade sci-fi horror flicks.
