Correction: Nikki Visel of Queen Anne has joined the staff of the Taproot Theater Company as the Marketing Director.  She brings a wealth of experience from her former post as Restaurants Unlimited’s marketing manager. We erroneously reported that Darrell Johnson, Development Director, is from Queen Anne.  He is not.

Taproot Theatre Company celebrates the beginning of its 2009 Mainstage season with a new development director and new marketing director. Darrell Johnson joins the team as Taproot’s first development director in four years. Johnson was formerly the district executive of the Boy Scouts of America in Wenatchee, and previously worked at Tacoma Symphony Orchestra as assistant to the executive director. 

The theatre begins a Mainstage season featuring three regional premieres.  Taproot Theatre will continue to offer 3-show subscriptions through the third play in the season, Around the World in 80 Days by Mark Brown and based on the novel by Jules Verne.
