Technical Director
Glenn DavisGlenn Davis is entering his 28th year as the technical director at Overbrook High School. Every show and/or event has different challenges. Those challenges are what make the job fun. All of the accomplishments and strides we have made as a tech team would not have been possible without the dedication of all of the tech students that I have worked with over the past 28 years. They are the best!!!!
Set Constructor
Michael CharboneauMike Charboneau has been designing and building sets for around 15 years. As a Woodshop teacher, carpenter, and general 'know a little about a lot' type of guy, he really looks forward to building the sets for the plays and musicals at Overbrook High School. The credit goes to the great students who take direction, work diligently every day, and present great ideas when building the sets. Working alongside the other teachers and students at Overbrook, I believe we really create some fantastic sets along the way. "If you build it they will come." (Field of Dreams, 1989)
