Assistant Director
Hunter Kazmierczak
Hunter always had a lifelong passion for theater and the arts and was lucky enough to meet the love of his life, Trevor, through acting. Although it has been many years since he acted on stage himself, he’s had the pleasure to assist and support his fiancé’s many acting adventures behind the scenes. Be it running lines, doing make up, costuming, managing stage crew, set building/striking, and running lights, he is always eager to take on more roles to help make the magic on stage happen. This past season with Black Swamp Players, Hunter was Stage crew for The Moors and spotlight for Puffs. He is also excited to assistant direct next season’s production of Murdering Medea. BSP is already feeling like a second home to him, and he is looking forward to meeting more people and helping out anyway he can.

Stage Manager
Heath A. Diehl
Coming directly off of a recent run as George in The Language Archive, Heath returns to BSP’s Oak Street Theater this time in the supporting role of Stage Manager, a role he reprises from last season’s The Moors. Heath is beyond elated to work once again with Chloé, whom he initially encountered when cast in the Owens Community College production of The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later, which Chloé directed. In addition to acting and stage managing, Heath has directed a number of productions for BSP, including most recently For Peter Pan On Her 70th Birthday, Nora: A Doll’s House, and Marjorie Prime. He is Board President for both BSP and Wood County Humane Society, and he thanks his husband of twenty-nine years, Gary, for always supporting his long nights at the theater.
