Providence College - BA Communications University of Winnipeg - BA Honour's Sociology University of Manitoba - MA Sociology From the age of 8, Tina has searched to find her niche in the theatre world. From being the best darn Salty the Songbook to dancing up a storm in W.C. Miller's Plain and Fancy, Mirage, and Oliver. Her school days were preparing her for more. It led her to King's Players and "Everyman". Then the opportunity came to work at Providence in shows such as Rain on the Roof, The Singer, Change in the Wind, and her directing debut of Pap's Place. The last few years have seen Tina in Picture in the Paper, The Carpenter and her most demanding role as mother for Griffin and Emilia. Tina brings her years of board member and organizer specialist experience to the table as our president, remember-er, and researcher of all that is good in the grant world. Jeanette Hoeppner

Rosebud Theatre - FRSA It all goes back to a young 7 year old Goldlilocks afraid to sit in the chair she knew would have to fall apart. Once she got over her fear of stage falls, Jeanette moved on to act and direct at Garden Valley Collegiate, tour North America with Covenant Players, and eventually land at Rosebud School of the Arts, Alberta. Three years later as a fresh new face in the graduate scene, she took on work with Badlands Passion Play, Mennonite Collegiate Institute, Candlewick Productions and Solejourn Productions. Theatre highlights include: Opal, The Curious Savage, Footprints of a Pilgrim, Les Miserables, Anne & Gilbert, Little Women and Dancing Backwards. Film highlights include On a Sunday and Retired with 40 Below Films. You never know where you might find Jeanette at work or what she might be doing! She is based in Winkler and happy to be working with flatland's as artistic director and class instructor. Bud Kehler

Providence College - BA Communications University of Winnipeg - Current Bud took a real shining to the stage and just dived right in from his Junior High debut in Oliver Twist to being the star at the Landmark Collegiate Institute in shows such as Hamlet and Oklahoma. At Providence College he acted in Rain on the Roof, This I Believe, and The Singer followed by starring as Prince Charming in Steinbach Community Theatre's Cinderella. While there was a brief pause in Bud's illustrious acting career it did not fall by the wayside. Of late, you would have found him in Oak Valley's productions of Book Mark, Sunshine Valley and The Carpenter and Candlewick's A Thousand May Fall. He also worked locally with Picture in the Paper. When not acting Bud is busy working on his Education degree, being a Dad and coaching. We present our treasurer, public relations aficionado, and all around good guy. Melissa Grenier
