Board of Directors

Board members serve three-year terms, and elections are held during the General Membership Meeting at the end of each season. Board meetings are held monthly and are open to the general public.

President
Stuart Parks II
Stuart Parks II has been a mainstay on the Theatre of Dare stage for more than a decade. By day he is an archivist at the Outer Banks History Center in Manteo, and at night he takes on the roles of a wide range of characters, including a rowdy mental patient in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, a bumbling King in Spamalot, and a sexy Sasquatch in Cabaret. He’s already served two terms on the board, but somehow still has not learned his lesson, so he’s back for another go.

Vice President
EVAN TILLETT
Evan is honored and excited to have been elected to Theatre of Dare's Board of Directors. He has been involved in multiple TOD shows, starting with Cabaret, and has never looked back.

Board Member
BERT PLANTE
Bert moved to the area in 2011 to manage the USFWS fire program across NC. Finding a need for some real excitement, he joined TOD in time to perform in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Many shows and tasks later, he finds himself on the board and looking forward to pushing our group further into the 21st century, even if he'll need to be dragged kicking and screaming there personally.
