Our Volunteers

My name is Margot, and my family and I live here in Newport, WA. I enjoy art, music, traveling, photography, family adventures, and the outdoors. I’m a new face here at the Pend Oreille Playhouse, but I have been involved in the theatre arts for over twenty years. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Technical Theatre Arts at California State University of Long Beach in 2006. After graduating, I worked in the Hollywood scene doing product placement on television and movie sets. From 2008-2013, I worked and toured with Cirque du Soleil’s North American Big Top traveling division in the front of house, public relations, costume shop, and backstage. Over the course of five years with Cirque du Soleil, I worked with four different live theatre shows— Corteo, Kooza, OVO, and Zarkana. When it comes to photography, I’ve had a love for it since I was very young, and I find catching memories through the camera lens so rewarding and priceless. I am a self-taught photographer, having used my design and art background to guide my photography journey. You can usually find me powering through my first year as a Special Education Para-Educator at Stratton Elementary. I love my job, and adore teaching and helping children.  

 Erin has had a passion for theater since high school, and has loved the opportunity to volunteer at the playhouse over the last 4 years. Erin has done a variety of things with the playhouse, with roles ranging from actor, choreographer, and director for several one act plays. Not only has this allowed her to become closer to her community and meet a wide range of talented individuals, it also has helped her create more memories with her local family as they also have found opportunities to volunteer alongside her. Her favorite involvement at the playhouse would be the role of Sister Hubert in Nunsense, Choreographer in the most recent production Matilda, and her many roles in Elementary Christmas, which always stands out as her first time volunteering at the Pend Oreille Playhouse.   

 I'm Kimberly Fry and I've been with POPA since I was in 5th grade. Now, at 21,  the playhouse has become a second home. I love going outside and camping. I love all animals. My favorite color is Bright Orange and I have the need for speed. 

 Chris has been involved with POPA since 2010. His first role was Aslan in the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Since then, he has been involved in over 30 productions in various capacities, such as set design and construction, photography, videography, acting and directing.
