GOVERNING BOARD of DIRECTORS

  • PRESIDENT

    Charles Davis

    "As a parent of TNT youth for many years, I have seen first hand the value of the principles taught through Play Theory and the dedication and service to the community that is instilled in the youth participating. I serve on the board for two reasons: to contribute to that dedication and service in some small way and to help ensure that TNT thrives to provide this opportunity to youth in the future. Thank you for your participation in and support of TNT."

  • DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

    LaRee Florence

    "TNT’s origins began with a simple request in 2003 to ‘teach us about Shakespeare.’ Believing that each individual has the ability to change the world through their outlook and actions, I knew theater could be used for more than performing. It could be a tool in developing the whole individual. Artistic Director is fulfilling for me because I see Play Theory and TNT working together to be a positive force in each participant's life. "

  • DIRECTOR OF FINANCE

    McKay Florence

    McKay Florence is a real estate investor and enthusiastic supporter of the arts in the Sacramento Region. He has had five children participate in Take Note Troupe over the years. McKay says, "I participate on the Board of Take Note Troupe because I value the positive impact it has had in the lives of hundreds of participants over the years and the quality of theater arts TNT produces for the community."

  • SECRETARY

    Michelle Romero

    "Everyone only has so much time to 'give away'. I volunteer with TNT because it is dedicated to building the individual. Its mission, accomplished with Play Theory principles as its foundation, brings out the skills and talents of the participant, provides leadership opportunities, and develops their positive, generous mindset leading to a pattern of service in their lives. TNT changes lives. An amazing return for someone who keeps records. "

  • DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

    Michal Thomas

    "I spend my precious free time on TNT because I have seen it change people. In a world where so many teens feel isolated, hopeless, anxious, or insecure, TNT and PLAY Theory shine a light on the path to happiness. As youth embrace PLAY Theory, they become generous, thoughtful, cheerful, accepting people who make the world a better place. I am privileged to be a part of that."

  • Program Specialist

    Michelle Scribner

    "Keeping this amazing team organized is my cup of tea. With all this creativity and inspiration bursting in everyone else, I bring the boring parts together. With a background in business and personal strengths in organization and efficiency, my joy is creating the schedules and filling out the forms and communicating all the details so that TNT can continue to make a difference in the lives of the kids we serve."
