Dan Virtue

Latest Show Bio

Dan Virtue (Lighting Designer) has been involved in many shows at Community players over the last 31 seasons. Over the years, he has been seen onstage several times (Guys and Dolls, Charlotte's Web,1776, Boy Meets Girl, My Fair Lady). But he has found his true calling as a Lighting and Sound Effects designer for the many shows he has helped stage. Some of his favorites include Into The Woods, Titanic: The Musical, The Wedding Singer, and Puffs. Dan thanks the wonderful cast (including two of his Grandkids - Jordan and Olivia!) and staff of A Christmas Story, The Musical for all of their hard work. And of course, his lovely bride, Sue, for her support of his odd-hour thespian activities.
