We present these pages to offer some
well-deserved recognition for the wonderful people who
have given their ideas, sweat, and time to the Marshalltown Community
Theatre. Without their efforts, our theatre would be little
more than a dark room. We celebrate your generous gift to our
community!
If
you
have participated in an MCT production in the past, in any capacity,
please take your bow with the folks on these pages. Contact the MCT
Technical Director
to arrange to be included.

Jan BEALS
Tampa, FL
Jan was active in
the Marshalltown Community Theatre since “volunteering” in 1994 until she
left for Florida in 2003. She
joined the Board in 1996, in charge of Properties, and after serving her
term, transferred to Lights and Sound. Jan was very active in
children’s theatre in Albuquerque NM, volunteering with two local theatre
groups and a couple of dance studios, helping with plays and recitals.
She has only been on stage once and if you missed it, you will never get
the chance again. Jan said she will never do that again, preferring
backstage to on-stage. She and her husband, Jim, now reside in
Tampa, Florida. We miss her.

Jim BEALS
Tampa, FL
Jim was active in
the Community Theatre from the time he arrived in Marshalltown in 1994
until his move to Florida in 2003. He
began with Lights and Sound and until his job transferred him and his
family to Tampa, Florida, continued in that capacity.
In June 2002, Jim added Web Manager to his duties, helping establish and
maintain MCT's
website. He also assisted with
writing and formatting
Curtain
Call, the MCT newsletter and the programs for
each show. Jim and a crew of volunteers
were instrumental in getting the new lighting and sound systems designed
and installed. He even found time to perform in a couple of shows,
including the role of a dog in PLAYING DOCTOR. In addition to all
that, Jim is apparently a little camera shy.

Linda BORSCH
Marshalltown, IA
Linda made her first stage
appearance in early 1970 when MCT presented FORTY CARATS. At the
last minute the director asked Linda to stand in for one of the cast
members. It was a small role, but she was hooked. Linda had
theatre experience before that, working on costumes and props. Since
she was hooked, Linda auditioned for HARVEY but didn't perform again until
MCT's 2003 production of THE WOMEN due to personal and work commitments.
