Rod Crisp retired from the tech industry at 52 and moved with his wife, Sandee, from Hong Kong to their property in Hawaii. This move allowed him to spend time with his passions of woodworking, tennis and travel. His woodworking has been featured in five magazine cover spreads and a stint on HGTV. His smaller pieces were also carried at the Wayland Gallery. In Hawaii, he became active in the Rotary Club, where he was a board member and president. His primary responsibility was fundraising. Rod and Sandee also became patrons of local theater and supported the Aloha Theater Company. They moved to Sonoma four years ago and discovered SAL. They love the quality of SAL’s shows, and Rod wanted to be involved in such a creative theater company.
Board of Directors
Lindsay John
Board Member
Lindsay John graduated from Southern Oregon University in 2016 and, upon moving back home, she immediately put her degree to use, stage managing and acting around Marin County. She was part of a volunteer group with Sheri Lee Miller and several other BIPOC members of the theater community. SAL’s Jaime and Rick Love were on a large group call with Artistic Directors of the area who were seeking to promote more inclusive casting and diverse productions to feature the BIPOC community. At that point, Lindsay had already worked at SAL in 2017, and with several other theaters in the Bay Area, bringing in a fresh perspective. Working on Ain't Misbehavin’ as Stage Manager solidified her interest in doing more with SAL.
