Meet Your East Regional Reps
Christy Rahrig, Lead Rep East Region
By day, Christy Rahrig is just that weird coworker in the office. But by night, Christy is an advocate for all things good, especially the performing arts. Born and raised in northwest Ohio, Christy started theatre at the age of 10 and wishes she had started so much sooner. She has lived in Zanesville (East Region) since 2016. When not focused on theatre, Christy sings at funerals, plays in a community band, performs in a community choir, and supports efforts of the local Democratic Party. Her favorite roles of all time are being a wife to Kevin and a mother to her daughter.
Jade Boffo, Regional Rep East Region
Jade and her family try to stay active in local theatre. When not onstage, she is helping with concessions or ushering in patrons. Some of her favorite productions she has been in are June B Jones Jingle Bells, Batman Smells (P.S. so Does May), Ruthless, Legally Blonde, and Addams Family. Jade is thankful to continue to support local community theatre and learn from the most dedicated people.
