Director
Jeremy HeisnerOk, so...

Production Stage Manager
Scott ConklinMy interest with live stage began in 1973/74 when I was assigned to Special Services
Entertainment while stationed at Fort Huachuca. I worked follow-spot, as stagehand, lights and
sound, and eventually as Technical Director. Once out of the Army, I returned to my home state
and eventually had a 40 year carrer at a School District in the Bay Area. After retiring, we
decided to move back to Sierra Vista, where I decided to ask Theater on the Move if they
needed any help. After working a few shows with them, I worked with Tombstone Repritory
Theater doing lights, sound and video work. I met up with the founders of the Sierra Vista
Community Theatre and joined the Board. As the last of the founding members still working with
the theater, I’m proud and delighted to see the growth and enthusiasm of the volunteers, actors
and current Board as they strive to provide Sierra Vista with a professional and enjoyable venue
without having to go to Tucson.

Guitarist
Preston JenningsThis is my second musical, having done Rocky Horror Show in 2021 as my introduction, and overall now fifth show with the SVCT. I'm as happy as ever to be here and grateful to share the stage and perform the unique take on the music for the love audience. I'm very excited to perform with this amazing cast!

Guitarist
Hoppy HopkinsI’m a singer-songwriter with a 30 year history of performance.
I taught myself the guitar by reading Beatles “fake books”
as a young teenager. I play an exuberant style that is
obviously influenced by The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel
and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
The highlight of my musical achievements was
warming up the stage in Washington D.C. for Eartha Kitt in
1993 .

Drummer
Nic MoschettiI'm Nic Moschetti, just your average drum bum out here living the desert dream. This is my first production with SVCT. I have played rums since middle school, and have always wanted to play for a live musical, so I'm glad to finally have the opportunity to do that.

Pianist
Caitie FullerI’ve wanted to be a part of the theater since I was a little kid, but I didn’t get the opportunity until I stumbled into SVCT in 2021. I’ve had the pleasure of being in the band for The Rocky Horror Picture Show and I also just had my first acting debut with the Odd Couple, Female Version. Music has always been a part of my life - I’ve been playing piano for sixteen years and I’m thrilled to use my ability for something like this musical. My fun fact: when I was little I willingly stared at the sun in hopes I’d go blind. It didn’t work - completely. One thing I try to do to make the world a better place is listen. Sometimes angry people just need someone who can listen to them and not get angry back.
