Lori Holm, (Executive and artistic director), relocated to Connecticut from the Napa Valley many years ago and has found her niche in New England greasing the wheels of bright young minds in her day job, making art and music, teaching the arts to others, designing costumes and sets for various theatrical productions, directing shows, learning lines and music for an upcoming theatrical venture, or playing in the sun during the A@A's summer camps! Lori’s love of all arts can be traced back to her grandfather- a muralist, painter, and musician. Over the decades she has designed countless advertisements, logos and posters in addition to the artistry she brings to her canvases, gardens, photos, crafts and to the theatre. As was the case in California so it is here... Lori has made it a point to surround herself with loving, like-minded, talented, and creative individuals who understand that life is a feast for the eye, the ear, the mind, the heart, and the soul.
Shelly Campbell (Stage Manager): Shelly is very excited to be back in the wings at A@A’s for this season’s production of Mystery in Hawaii. This old school theater kid would like to send a shout out to the amazing cast and crew and an extra-large thank you for making this such a rewarding experience. Previous stage manager credits include La Cage Aux Folles, Nuncrackers, Bed, Breakfast & Broadway,[title of show], Miracle on 34th Street, Meshuggah-Nuns, and Mystery in Hawaii.
Stacey Burwell (House Manager) has been a part of the Angeloria’s family for a long time as a friend and patron. Now, as House manager, she gets to share her love of this special place with everyone. While this is Stacey’s first time working in a theater, she has been a fan of theater her whole life. Some of you may recognize her from Angeloria’s production of Mamma Mia! in 2021 as the bride in the surprise real wedding at the end of the play. That is probably the only time you will see her on the stage, but she will be there to greet you at every show and welcome you to this magical venue.
Steve Carella (General Production Assistant) After nearly a decade performing on the London Stage, Steve decided to hang up his acting hat and join the team at A@A's. He quickly rose the ranks from 'House Boy' to 'Assistant to the House Manager' after Stacey saw the passion with which he completed simple tasks. This new position allowed him to focus on his true calling of selling popcorn and candy to patrons and lifting heavy objects up and putting them down in new, exciting locations.
