Meet Our People
Our theatre thrives because of the passion and heart of our volunteer leaders.
David Chancellor | President
An active member of Stage Crafters for over 20 years, I am truly honored to serve as our President for our 52nd year. I have starred in more than 20 shows, and love working backstage almost as much! I am grateful to Stage Crafters for bringing an amazing group of people into my life, many of whom have become my dearest friends. And I have a passion for sharing the magic of theatre and the joy of collaborating to bring people together. I look forward to making even more friends this year, and I would love to encourage everyone reading this to reach out and join our incredible community!

"I love Stage Crafters because the volunteers have full time jobs/lives and still dedicate hundreds of hours to each production because they love theatre."
Chuck Harrison | Secretary
Chuck has been with Stage Crafters on and off stage for 3 years. Chuck retired from the Air Force in 2021 and works at Keller Williams Emerald Coast. His passion is musicals but has come to enjoy the technical side of theater.

"I love that Stage Crafters opens it’s heart to everyone who comes thru the doors … of the Rehearsal Hall and the Auditorium."

Craig “retired” in 2022 from a 35-year career with the USAF as a senior research scientist and now works for a defense contractor in weapons simulation. He has been with us since 1987 and our business manager for more than 25 years.
