Help with RWT Manager Mike Retirement Celebration?

Hello Theatre community! 

As many of you are aware, our beloved Riverwalk Theatre administrator, Mike Siracuse, will be retiring from his position with the Theatre at the end of the year. We are looking to send him off in a big and wonderful way, and we are looking for help from the community at large to make sure that this celebration goes off without a hitch. Many hands will make for lighter work, and if folks are willing to give a few hours ahead of the event to be able to assist with the various responsibilities, we would appreciate it. If you are interested in assisting with some of the planning and logistics of the event, please comment and we will be in touch with you. 

We are also reaching out to see about volunteers to help with the coordination efforts of the event itself. We are also looking for folks who would be willing to speak at the event as part of our “roast“ of Mike. We are particularly looking for stories that highlight the decades long dedication and hard work that Mike has given to the Theatre and this community. If you are someone who would like to share your story, please comment here and we will reach out to you with next steps.

Below we have detailed out specific items that require assistance:
