The manager of the Riverwalk Theatre in Lansing was the guest of honor at his own theatre Saturday afternoon for a party to celebrate 15 years in his current position. Mike was joined by hundreds of his theater friends for an event that marked a decade and a half of being the most famous behind-the-scenes person in Lansing Theater.
Mike has been in charge of the theater since 1995. As the community theater’s only paid employee, he oversees a staff of volunteers that includes cast members, directors, producers, behind-the-scenes help, and a board of directors. Many at the party joked, “Mike keeps them all in line.” He has also led the theater through several renovation and expansion projects, and is in charge of tickets and public relations.
Mike was presented with a plaque to honor his service and gifts from the community. We hope he will wear his new MIentertainment shirt proudly.
