25 Year Participant - Rita Horstmeier
The second 25 year member we would like to introduce to you is Rita Horstmeier. Rita and her entire family has been involved with LPI in some capacity since the beginning. Her four children, Joe, Nic, Jake, and Alexia have been involved onstage and backstage, and Rita's husband Jeff has done his fair share of volunteer work building sets for LPI throughout the years. Rita is now the head of ticket sales for LPI and has been for the past 17 years!
25 Year Participant - Ed Ritger
In honor of our 25th Anniversary year, we are going to share with you, four people that have been members of LPI for the past 25 years. Keep an eye out over the next few months as we share their memories and stories of the past 25 years. Our first 25 year member we would like to introduce to you is, Ed Ritger. Ed is the only 25 year member that has never been onstage. Ed is the father of Andy Ritger, one of the founders of Lakeshore Productions. Ed has been a "behind the scenes" asset to LPI throughout the years. Read more about Ed below as he reflects back on the last 25 years of LPI.
LPI Welcomes New Board President
LPI is thrilled to welcome Joe Horstmeier as the new board president. Joe has been involved with LPI since day one, as he was a munchkin in Lakeshore’s first production, The Wizard of Oz in 1996. Since then, Joe has been involved with LPI onstage, backstage, on the directing staff, and as a volunteer. Joe is very honored to be chosen to help lead LPI in the years to come as well as to introduce community theater, and all it has to offer, to the next generation.
