Meet the OCTA Jr. Chairperson
Donna Jean Evans, OCTA Jr. Chairperson
I have been involved with Harlequins Coach House Theatre in Sandusky for 50 years and have been the OCTA delegate for that theatre for about 15 of those years. When the new North Region was formed I also volunteered to be a Regional Rep, taking over as the Lead Regional Rep for the past two years. Over the past few years I have worked on various projects for the OCTA Board as well as planning the North Regional and OCTA Jr. in 2025. I'm looking forward to this coming year in OCTA and beyond.
