A "jack of all trades" who has worked with a university registrar, a lawyer,
a planning and zoning board, and a doctor, raised two sons,
and dabbled in singing and instrumental music all along the way,
Jane has now turned to helping launch The Shrewsbury Players.
It's a whole new world for her, and a most interesting experience to learn what it
takes to get a play from the script to the stage.
Wanda finds working behind the scene, tending to the details and organizing
a production company are more suited to her talents than performing.
She was instrumental in helping The Shrewsbury Players become established and is proud to be
part of a group that continually brings quality performances to the Shrewsbury stage.
She has been Producer for all but one of the plays and is amused at how the "job description"
of a producer in community theater changes from show to show.
