John
J. Robinson: (Archives; Bookkeeper) First Term Ends 2007
John Robinson, the brainchild of MPP has continued to make up the
glue that's helped hold the Montford Park Players togheter since the
beginning. At long last, he's agreed to become a board member after
passing on his usual accounting duties. Without the support and attention
John has given MPP over the years, we wouldn't be anywhere close to
where we are today. |

| Advisory Members Peter Brezny (Website)  Peter
Brezny has been acting with MPP since age 6, in his debut role as
Boy Macduff in the 1976 production of Macbeth. Since that time, he
has been an active member each year either working in lights, sound,
set construction, stage management, assistant direction, or acting.
The year 2001, Peter's 25th anniversary as a member of MPP, was one
of his most involved; acting treasurer to the board, assistant to
the TD for Macbeth, acting as Macbeth, and finally being voted Chairman
of the board during the October board meeting. Peter has high hopes
of encouraging productive organizational structure while continuing
to support and expand the diverse creativity the organization already
posesses. |

Hazel
Robinson founded the Montford Park Players in 1973, after seeing
a production of "Twelfth Night" in Minneapolis, Minnesota and deciding
that Asheville needed a Shakespearean troupe. She and her husband
John have nurtured MPP into what it is today: the longest running
Shakespearean company in North Carolina. Hazel now serves as the
Chair Emerita to the Board of Directors.
