Eric Martin
Eric Martin is the set construction assistant and is husband of Karen Martin (Co-Principal at CES). He started building sets as a freshman in college (Hiram ‘89) and became involved with Cloverleaf’s drama club eleven years ago when his oldest son, Kevin, was a sophomore. He feels very blessed to have a career as a lead estimator with Mack Industries in Valley City, which allows him to participate in building sets. Some of his favorite and more technical sets have been for “The Diary of Anne Frank”, “Oklahoma”, “Cinderella”, and “Bye, Bye, Birdie”. He is looking forward to be working in a larger space in the new, soon to be, CHS PAC. He is appreciative of all the directors that have allowed him to be a part of the productions and wishes the best of luck and the proverbial “break a leg” to all of the young performers, past, present, and future that come through the ranks at CHS.
