Our Board of Directors

---

 While Alex loves taking the stage on occasion, his true devotion lies behind the curtain. As our dedicated President, Alex is a driving force ensuring every production comes to life. You'll find him meticulously building sets, hanging lights, running sound cues and more - Alex's attention to detail is unmatched. For over a decade, he has poured countless hours into creating an incredible experience for performers and audiences alike. Alex's commitment to the magic of community theater is truly inspiring. Whether it's a big musical or intimate drama, he takes immense pride in his behind-the-scenes work to make each show special. 

 Although Holly has never stepped foot on stage, she does a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes. From wrangling kids to making props and selling concessions, she does it all. Her dedication is truly unmatched, and the show would not go on without her. Outside of theater, Holly is a Stay-at-Home Mom, who homeschools her three children. Most recently Holly produced her first production “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”. She enjoyed the role and looks forward to producing more shows in the future. We are truly blessed to have such a dedicated and hardworking person on our board! 

 If you've had the pleasure of seeing her on stage, you've undoubtedly been captivated by the exceptional talent of Emma. She has been gracing the stage since she was a young child and has blossomed into a seasoned professional actress over the years.

Emma's passion for the performing arts is unmatched, and her extensive knowledge of theatre is truly an asset to our organization. As a dedicated member of the Renaissance Players, Emma has directed multiple shows, bringing her creative vision and expertise to life on stage. Most recently she assistant directed Charlottes Webb last spring. But Emma's contributions extend far beyond the spotlight. She volunteers countless hours behind the scenes, lending her skills and enthusiasm to ensure our productions are nothing short of extraordinary. We are truly fortunate to have such a talented individual as our Secretary, and her contributions continue to enrich our organization in countless ways.

 Caleb Wray is the owner of Charlotte Tax on the court square and the minister at Rock church of Christ. He has been a long time patron and advocate of the arts and humanities, previously serving on state boards for libraries and writers. 

He has previously performed in acapella groups, community choirs, and made his theatrical debut as Mr. Cratchit in A Christmas Carol. Caleb is also a published author, with a short romance novel about his hometown festival, the West TN Strawberry Festival. 

He is excited to help further community theater in Dickson County as a board member with the Renaissance Players. Bringing more opportunities for theater and arts in Dickson County is something he feels our community needs!

 Tara is thrilled to continue her journey with the Renaissance Players for the 2025 season as a board member.  Last year she was seen as Hannah in Spitfire Grill, ensemble in A Christmas Carol and as the costumer for Charlotte’s Web.  Tara received her BA in English and Theater from The University of Wyoming and has spent the last thirty years touring, teaching, directing and costuming.  Currently, Tara runs a small business with her husband and assistant directs theater productions at Creekwood High School. She wishes to extend a huge thank you to everyone that supports the Arts.  Cheers! 

 Brady has been working with the Renaissance players since he was 16, and has seen a great deal of changes in that time, both inside the group, and through his own personal life. Although outside of the spotlight he is an introverted wall flower, when on the stage, a completely different person takes over! A character actor, that takes on any role (or roles) that may be given him! He strives to make every show he’s apart of special, whether it be working with his fellow cast and crew, or just giving his characters a particular element of memorability to the audience. Having recently stepped into directing shows with the Ren Players he loves to exercise his knowledge of the performing arts, and sharing an abundance of delightful theatrical anecdotes he’s accumulated over the years. Brady is very proud of the Renaissance Players, and will always be a champion for our team!
