Ronald S. Herman
Ron’s first show with PM was way back in 2002, when he joined the South Pacific cast. Since then, he has done 9 more shows with the group. His two favorite roles have been the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz and Cornelius in Hello Dolly. PM has truly become one of his favorite connections to the Rochester theater world! Off the stage, Ron worked as an elementary school teacher at Churchville-Chili for 33 years but retired shortly before the Pandemic started. (Thank Heavens!) He now works at SUNY Brockport supervising student teachers. He is very active at his church where he often leads their general board as well as leads and participates in many musical activities there as well. He hopes that he can help PM to move forward into the next few years. Working on a Board of Directors can be hard work, but it should also be enjoyable. I hope to bring the fun along with the chores and envisioning!
Lauren MacDonough
Lauren is so happy to have an opportunity to serve on the Pittsford Musicals board. She has been a part of PM since 2011 when she played Marta in Company. Lauren has since been a cast member in Chicago, A Chorus Line, Curtains, Cabaret, (I think those are all the C shows in existence), Sweeney Todd, and 50 Years of Song and Dance. She has served on the Webster Theatre Guild Board, serving as liaison to TheatreROCS!, managed a Fringe venue for a couple seasons, and is currently serving on the board of Out of Pocket Productions.
Lauren received her bachelor's in Communications (Broadcast Journalism) from Syracuse University and master's in Integrated Marketing Communications from Nazareth College. She works in Marketing handling email, in-app, and social media for VisualDx, a local company that helps doctors make diagnostic decisions with patients. She would love to be able to serve the Pittsford and local theatre community by serving on this board.
