Don Jones

Donald has been in the Elko area since 1995. He was first roped into Silver Stage Players by his sister in 1998, when he played Neville Landless in The Mystery of Edwin Drood.

In 2005 he became very involved with SSP when the set designer of Much Ado About Nothing stopped responding to the director. Donald had already been cast as Conrade, but stepped up and finished the set design as well.
He has been involved, as an actor or as a technician, in almost all of the SSP productions that have been put up since. Among others, he acted as stage manager for the Children’s Theatre Workshop production of Land of the Dragon, played the priest in Man of La Mancha, and did set design for Glengarry Glen Ross.

Hi my name is Russell Smith. I have been elected to the position of Treasurer. I have been involved with Silver Stage Players since 2004. I have served on the board in the past in the position of Public Relations Director.

As a community theatre I am very impressed with Silver Stage. I have always enjoyed being involved in community theatre and Silver Stage makes it a real pleasure. From Much Ado About Nothing to Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat, It has been an awsome experience, and I am looking forward to many more grand and glorious experiences with Silver Stage Players. My congratulations to all of the new board members and a great thank you and heartfelt goodbye to the board members that are leaving.
