Hannah Vidaver (Treasurer)
(she/her/hers)
Hannah Vidaver has been involved at Four County since 2014 when she appeared in her first Four County show Shrek! The Musical. Always a “theater nerd” Hannah fell in love with the theater, its history, and its volunteers, and has been in many Mainstage and Cellar shows since then. Memorable roles include Ernestina Moneymaker in Hello Dolly! and Marlafaye Mosely in Savannah Sipping Society. Theater has always been her passion and always will be. Working both on and off the stage she knows how important a supportive and inclusive theater can be. She hopes to be a part of that support at Four County. Theater is always expressive, and messy, and evolving, and she is excited to be a part of that process. To bring that experience to the next generation.
Meg Hoover (Secretary)
(she/her/hers)
Since Meg got involved in Four County in 2016, she has come to know many of the members and the terrific work they are doing to keep 4CP an alive and vibrant theater resource for the community.
Since her first association with 4CP in the role of Ethel in Moon Over Buffalo, she has helped with set builds, costumes, costume changes, hair, and being an extra hand when needed. She loves all things theater and although she loves being on stage the most, it takes so many behind the scenes hands to make a good production. She strives not to lose sight of the contributions of everyone who pitches in, especially the board, to produce good theater.
Katie Hutchins

Lisa Medders

Karen Schlicht
(she/her/hers)
In 2015, Karen’s children started showing an interest in theater. As a parent, she found herself working on costumes, helping backstage, and doing anything that was needed. During this time she met a couple people who were part of the 4CP family and they encouraged her to look into volunteering there. The moment she walked through those doors, she knew she was home. Karen started showing up at set builds ready to paint anything black. That was about her skill level, but she quickly learned new skills from all the amazing and talented people there. Karen was asked to assist with costume design for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and continued working backstage for Hello, Dolly!, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, White Christmas (ASM) and then Dear Edwina (costumes). There is no place in the world that she would rather be than at 4CP looking for things to do. Karen is thankful to be serving on the board working with such a great group of people.
