SVP Board Members

Members of the Board

Elizabeth Phillips, President
Elizabeth has served as photographer and keeper of the show archives for several years as well as Secretary and Board member. She enjoys music, song writing, creative writing, graphic arts, photography, and traveling to new places. She debuted with SVP in The Sound of Music in 1989 and has enjoyed being involved in several shows including her favorite productions Godspell and Fiddler on the Roof. Since then she has ventured into administrative matters of assistant/music director with Godspell and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and even a directorial debut last season with Little Women.

Marjorie Phillips, Vice President
Marjorie frequently is content to work behind the scenes as long as it's not backstage. She enjoys lending a hand wherever needed and cheering the actors on. She previously served on the Board, and we are glad to have her with us in this office. She keeps busy, now that she is retired. She enjoys traveling with her husband, spending time with her grandchildren, and directing choir at Bronson United Methodist Church.

Susan Lastra, Secretary
Susan began backstage in Godspell and little did she know how much that small step would lead to many appearances on stage. She demonstrated her versatility as actor and assistant director portraying Aunt March in Little Women and catching many laughs with her role as Winifred in Once Upon a Mattress. She also played major roles in The Nerd and Chalk Garden and brought her entire family into ours. She is now a bona fide producer and director with the summer production Acting UP!

Mike Humphries, Treasurer
Mike was "instrumental" in forming a band to make Godspell an inspiring musical production, and was persuaded to venture on stage in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Since then, he has found a home onstage, appearing as Axel in The Nerd and King Sextimus the Silent in Once Upon a Mattress. He stepped up to assist with Little Women and to direct Woolfie as part of the summer production Acting UP!

Frank Lastra, Board Member
Frank is manager at Gainesville Publix Deli who made his debut as Pap in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He has found quite an audience with his roles as Rick Steadman in The Nerd and Prince Dauntless in Once Upon a Mattress (playing opposite his wife).

Linda Hagan, Board Member
Linda is a long-time veteran with SVP and a welcome returning member. She has been involved in too many shows to count and has served on various board positions including President in past years. She directed Not a Creature Was Stirring, The Butler Did It. She is directing the upcoming children's summer show Treasure Island.

Louise Perras, Board Member
Louise frequents the backstage area as stage manager. It just wouldn't be a show without Louise behind the scenes making sure everything runs smoothly and is in its proper place. With no desire to be in front of the curtain, she has made her mark as stage manager for The Odd Couple, The Hobbit, The Secret Garden, The Wizard of Oz, Harvey and Charley's Aunt to name a few.
