Ashley Keenan

I joined the VCT Board in 2023 where I am a part of the Marketing Committee and the Reading and Programming Committee. My first adventure with VCT was with Music Man where I helped run the sound board and since then I have been backstage, side stage, front of house, and on stage. Whether it be watching, helping, or performing, being a part of the VCT family has brought so much joy! My all time favorite musical is Hairspray and my most recent viewing was The Book of Mormon!

Dan Heitman

I’m excited to start my second term on the Viroqua Community Theater board. The camaraderie of working with fellow board members and the diverse talents that join forces to make a production happen are the most motivating aspects of this endeavor. I’ve enjoyed all my on-stage and backstage work with VCT. My most enjoyable on-stage role was having the privilege of playing the Cowardly Lion in VCT’s production of the “Wizard of Oz”.
