Board of Directors
Rex Davison, President
I’ve lived in Gig Harbor since 1992. I am a Midwest transplant, stationed at McChord AFB for 6 years. I fell in love with Gig Harbor and decided to stay after I completed my enlistment.
I received my BA in Theater from the University of Washington. Apart from theater, I am a member of SAG (Screen Actors Guild.) which has allowed me to have been lucky enough to appear in commercials, films and television productions but my true love is live theater.
I have been involved with local community theater in the Gig Harbor, Port Orchard area for the past 25 years. I’ve performed at Encore Theater, Paradise Theater as well as Lakewood Playhouse in Lakewood. I’ve served on a board of a local theater for 3 years and learned the ins and outs of how to put on a production such as casting, lighting, sound and set building. I’ve been involved with various fundraising events to raise money and solicited donations and sponsors for our cause.
My experience with community theater and my love for the performing arts has inspired me to give back to the community where I live. This passion helps build the foundation for this thriving endeavor to give back by providing quality entertainment for the residents of this beautiful, vibrant community.
