So most who know me well know that for the past 5+ years I have been a board member of the Oskaloosa Community Theatre. I feel I have contributed to the fact that OCT has not had to close their doors, even though it was stated as an option at my very first meeting.

Well, I have decided to leave the board of directors. I have met some resistance, many fond farewells, and some silence about it. I had told many that were close to me that if we decided to stay in the building we are currently in, I was done. This is mainly because I cannot stand the owner (who is not above screaming, insulting or other temper tantrum like behavior) and I feel things are just going to get worse on that front. Andrew and I are in a very unique time in our relationship , and we both feel the need to limit stress as much as possible, and this man adds ALOT of stress for me, warranted or not.

While it means missing the chance to spend time with some great people (main reason I've stayed all these years), I just feel that it is the right time. I'm hoping that eventually, all will understand and there will be no hard feelings. I'm hoping to join the ranks of Eddie, Charles, or Travis who were once on the board, then left but still remain a part of OCT.

I love all the people I have met thanks to OCT, the above mentioned included. One of my best friends came into my life thanks to it, my husband's as well. I'm hoping this can be an explaination for any who need it. I leave things in very capable hands. It's just a little surreal for me right now.

Thanks.
