Springboro Community Theatre
Board Members
It's not all about acting or directing our shows, it's about building a business that supports the Springboro community! Meet the folks below that make it happen.
Gina Littrell
Publicity Director
Gina is happy to join the board at SCT. Even though she does not have experience in theater, her son is very involved. SCT has given so much to her family she wanted to give back. Gina has been married for 33 years to Jim and a mom to Colson. In the day-to-day life, she manages the transportation department at an auto auction and is a part-time pharmacy technician. Gina enjoys spending time with her family and puppies, Apollo and Willow. She enjoys watching NASCAR with her husband and one day hopes to go to a race. When not watching Nascar she is cheering on the Buckeyes.
Carrie Robbins
Sponsorships and Fundraising Coordinator
Carrie is thrilled to be a part of the SCT Board which allows her to combine two of her passions…the arts and Springboro! When not selling real estate for BHHS Professional Realty, Carrie spends her time volunteering for many community organizations and events including Expo, Oktoberfest Springboro, ArtFest on Main, Springboro Juneteenth Jubilee, and the Christmas in Springboro parade. She is also the co-host of the local TV show, “Springboro 45066”, with Mayor John Agenbroad. Carrie has appeared on stage with SCT as the host for the “Holiday Jubilee” and "Spring Spectacular" shows. A lifelong resident of Springboro, Carrie enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and cat "Alexander McQueen".
Jason Vogel
Technical Director
​Jason started in theatre because someone asked him to swing a sword. Once he realized he wasn't a good actor, he switched to tech. Jason has worked with most of the Dayton area community theatres over the last 25 years, but calls Springboro his home base. Jason was the technical director for 15 years before taking an extended break, but is now glad to be back and on the board at SCT.
Jim Brown
President
After getting his start in musical theater in high school, Jim continued his vocal studies while obtaining a finance degree from Wright State University. He held soloist and section leader positions in numerous Dayton-area choruses, and appeared with the Air Force Band of Flight and the Dayton United Lutheran Chorale. After completing his MBA, Jim toured professionally with the acapella group he co-founded, Fourth Avenue. He later returned to musical theater, and has won multiple awards for acting, directing, and scenic design. Notable stage credits include Lord Farquaad in Shrek, The Musical, Jerry in The Full Monty, Molokov in Chess, The Musical, and Caiaphas in Jesus Christ Superstar. Directorial credits include Cyrano de Burger Shack, Puffs, and Legally Blonde. Other experiences comprise short films (Forever's End, Oasis), radio commercials (The Hobby Shop, Gigahobby.com, and others), and podcasts (The Hidden People, and Echo Protocol). Jim has been with the theater since 1999, and has been President of the Board of Directors since 2005. He is also the co-host of the annual Christmas in Historic Springboro parade. By day, Jim is a CFA charterholder and portfolio manager. He and his wife, Heather, are Springboro residents, along with their children, Alli and Andrew.
Rebekah Madden
Vice President
Bekki has been performing since age 8 (starting with piano, guitar, dance, baton, acting). She has been involved in over 9 different community & Army theaters holding various board positions or just volunteering at each one. She was previously employed by USA Bavaria as the Executive Theater Management Specialist for (now shuttered) Grafenwoehr Performing Arts Center.
​
She has been involved with several local theaters and with DayTony’s since moving back to Ohio in 2015. She has been Vice President of SCT since early 2020.
​
Bekki lives in Miamisburg with her husband of 30+ years, Scott. Together they have 3 adult children (Ashley, Tim, Adam), one grandson (Rowan), and their nutty dog (Bentley) and cat (Clawde von Scratch). In her spare time she spends time in the booth doing voice overs and would prefer to be out hiking any day of the week.
Carrie Thurston
Secretary
Carrie has previously served on the board of Springboro Community Theatre (formerly Playhouse South) as the membership coordinator and secretary. Carrie has her BFA in Design Technology from Wright State University, where she studied stage management specifically. She’s stage managed at multiple theaters in the area. She can occasionally be seen onstage, and has also directed for Playhouse South. Carrie’s latest show she directed was Chess: The Musical for Playhouse South.
Jennifer Strader
Treasurer
Jennifer began her career at Sinclair Community College before earning a Bachelor’s degree in Technical Theatre from The Ohio State University. She has worked with several professional theatre companies, including CATCO in Columbus, Ohio, and The Human Race Theatre Company in Dayton, Ohio. Jennifer continues to support her passion for theatre through volunteer work, including serving in properties roles and stage management when possible, and is currently dabbling in directing. She is honored to return to the board as Treasurer and looks forward to contributing her experience and dedication to the organization.
Katie McCoy
Volunteer Coordinator
Katie’s love for theater began when she was just seven years old and cast in a local community production of The Sound of Music. Since then, the stage has always felt like home. She became actively involved with SCT in 2019 when she was cast in Almost, Maine, and her connection to the theater has grown stronger ever since. In addition to her work with SCT, Katie has also been involved with Lebanon Theatre Company, where she performed in one of her favorite shows, Rumors. Another standout production was Legally Blonde at SCT, where she had the joy of sharing the stage with her daughter, a memory she will always treasure.
​
Over the years, Katie has taken on more responsibilities within the SCT family, and when the opportunity to become Volunteer Coordinator arose, she felt it was a perfect fit. She’s passionate about welcoming new faces to the theater and believes volunteering is one of the most rewarding ways to get involved and contribute to something meaningful.
Originally from Lima, Ohio, Katie moved to Dayton with her husband to attend Wright State University. When it came time to raise their family, they chose Springboro as the place to plant roots. Theater has become a family affair in the McCoy household. She and her daughter perform onstage, her son has worked behind the scenes on stage crew, and her husband has helped build and tear down sets. By day, Katie serves as a Staff Development Manager for Dayton Metro Library, and by night (and weekends!), you’ll likely find her helping bring community theater magic to life!
