President: Abigail Henderson
President: Leads meetings, tiebreaker in votes, various executive duties, and oversees all committees.
Abigail Henderson resides in Arnold with her parents, her sister, and her bird when she is not attending Swarthmore College in Philadelphia, PA. Abigail is studying cognitive science and computer science at Swarthmore and she is the Artistic Director of the Yellow Stocking Players, the campus Shakespeare company. She also participates in many student-run productions at Swarthmore.
From the time she was a small child, Abigail has had a love of theatre, but she was never able to really get involved until high school. She has since gained quite a bit of experience acting, directing, and doing tech, starting with a self-produced production of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap in her sophomore year of high school.
Abigail is currently spending her time playing frisbee, studying German, and sinking her teeth into every college production she can find. She attends board meetings via Skype and conducts a lot of ACTT business online, through emails and websites. You can contact Abigail at ahender1@swarthmore.edu, and she would be happy to hear from you. :)

Secretary: Sarah Kidwell
Secretary: Takes meeting minutes and makes those available to all ACTT members, schedules meetings and ensures attendance at meetings, database and inventory upkeep
Sarah Kidwell dwells in the fair city of Arnold, in a fruit-full subdivision with her parents, little sister and brother, and evil cat, Muffin. She also has an older sister and brother-in-law who are currently out-of-state in the pursuit of knowledge. Sarah attends Maryville University and is currently a senior in the graphic design program.
When she was 12, Sarah’s dad built a stage in her basement…which is how it all began! She performed in many basement shows put on by “Mixed-up Fairy Tales Productions” with her three siblings and three of her cousins. As a result, Sarah developed a passion for the theatrical, which carried through to all four years of her high school career at Fox, in which she both performed and did technical work. Her most notable role (in high school) was as Detective Sgt. Trotter in Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, her senior year. Currently, she devotes her theatrics entirely to ACTT in the areas of tech, script adaptation/writing, designing, and acting. Most recently, she performed as Mary Hatch/Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life.
As secretary for ACTT, Sarah plans meetings, takes notes, and keeps an inventory of all the treasures ACTT has managed to collect. She also often works with ACTT’s publicist, Daniel, by creating posters/programs with her graphic design ninja skills. Along with serving as secretary, she is currently a design intern for a small firm in St. Louis, a designer for Magnolia (Maryville’s literary and arts magazine), tackling the world of J-Query and Digital Photography in school, and working part time…whew! Despite how busy she is, however, she is always willing to listen! Feel free to email her at skidwell@live.maryville.edu.

Treasurer: Candice Moran
Treasurer: Pays bills, watches bank account, learns about non-profit status, keeps track of all financial records.
Candice holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Webster University and currently works in the Human Resources department of Sears. She works as an usher for the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis by night (moving to Opera Theatre in the summer), and even though she's not involved in the productions, being paid to watch shows is a great perk.
Candice has been involved in theater since a young age when her school did religious plays, patriotic shows and musical revues of Rogers and Hammerstein. Her involvement continued through 8th grade with the role of Lady Capulet and she was involved in both the technician and acting side of the Fox High School Theatre Troupe all four years of high school. She was involved in the first production of ACTT, 2010’s “A Christmas Carol”. Candice’s first love is film, something she pursues now through grip work and stills photography, sometimes even acting.
Theatre comes in a very close second and she’s thrilled to be involved with ACTT. As treasurer, Candice oversees all fiscal matters including the organization's journey to non-profit status. To contact her, e-mail arnoldtheatre@gmail.com with the subject "ATTN: Treasurer".

Publicist: Daniel McKinley
Publicist: Updates website , contacts press, distributes posters
Daniel McKinley has lived in Arnold his entire life. He lives with his parents and his brothers. He is currently going to school at St. Louis Community College where he is studying to get a degree in Secondary Education specializing in Speech and Drama.
Daniel fell in love with theatre during his Freshman year of high school. His girlfriend and best friend, Carolyn, pushed him to audition for a part in the fall play. At first he didn't get a part but after someone dropped out he received a small part in the fall play of "Our Town," which started his hunger for theater. The people that participated in theatre was the main reason Daniel was hooked so easily. Everyone was extremely friendly and easy to get along with. During Daniel's senior year of high school he thought that his days acting with the people that became his second family were over.
One day Sarah Kidwell posted on a Facebook group about putting on a show in honor of Mr. Michael Nash, a teacher and mentor that passed away because of cancer. Daniel, having theater withdraws, jumped at the chance to perform yet again. After the performance of "A Christmas Carol" ACTT was born.
As the publicist of the ACTT it is Daniel's job to make sure people know what is going on with the troupe. He is grateful to have a design major like the secretary, Sarah, to help him make posters for this troupe. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to send Daniel an email at dmckinley.fhs@gmail.com.
