On the Horizon: The Saenger Theatre will turn 100 years old in 2027 and we plan on a year-long celebration.
Advice: Live life to the fullest. It is an old cliché, but tomorrow is never promised. Plan that trip, that date, that party, that family visit. Arrive at the pearly gates exhausted!
Hidden Gem: Rusty Pelican in Mandeville or T Rivers Bar & Grill
Hobby/Passion: My work is my passion. I love meeting patrons when we have shows at the Saenger….I can often be found in the arcade when guests are arriving for our shows.
Vacation: Anywhere in the eastern Caribbean
