Heidi Shriver has served as Executive Director for Musique & Masque since June of 2025, but has been involved with M&M since 1993 as an actor, character coach, and director. 

Heidi holds degrees in Language Arts/Theatre and Education Administration, and has worked with Montview community children and youth in the arts of music and theatre for over 30 years. Retired from a career in public school administration, Heidi is thrilled to be able to invest more time in M&M’s community theatre family, helping to support its focus on intergenerational ensemble theatre. 

Heidi's favorite M&M roles have been Sister Robert Anne (Nunsense), Yente (Fiddler on the Roof), Lowbutt (Honk), and Wicked Witch of the West (Wizard of Oz). 

Jonathan has performed with Musique & Masque for four seasons and led the effort to establish M&M’s Governing Commission in 2024. He currently serves as Chair of the Governing Commission.

Jonathan holds degrees in law, finance, and oboe performance. His favorite M&M production was the 2025 Sound of Music, when his wife and both daughters performed onstage while he played in the orchestra pit, giving his entire family the special opportunity to participate in the same show together.

Jean founded Musique & Masque over 30 years ago, and continues to build on her legacy as a member of the Governing Commission and as Interim Artistic Director.

Theatre has been a mainstay in Jean's life since her teen years. While not an eager stage player herself, she has loved dealing with the intricacies of what makes it possible for actors to ply their craft on the stages. Beyond this, it has given Jean and other staff great satisfaction to learn and understand how theater involvement impacts and enriches the lives of everyone involved, in particular the lives of our young people.

Jean's all-time favorite show Musique & Masque has produced is Fiddler on the Roof. 

Bobby has served on the Governing Commission since March 2026. Bobby is also a company member and has been a Musique & Masque performer since 2006. His favorite roles are Drake the Duck and The Cowardly Lion.

Bobby believes that the opportunity to be on stage is empowering and builds confidence. The programs at Musique & Masque provide an encouraging atmosphere where all folks can blossom.

Bobby's favorite musicals are Wicked and Come From Away. 

Paul joined the Musique & Masque Governing Commission as Treasurer in 2025.  Paul has attended nearly every Musique & Masque performance since 2001, and was in the barbershop quartet for Music Man in 2025.

Although Paul's professional career was in educational policy and philanthropy, he has had a rich career as a musician, a member of the Chicago and Colorado Symphony Choruses and a soloist in numerous oratorios performed by community  and church choirs.  Paul shares the he believes that music and education go together as nicely as Musique & Masque.

Laura joined the Governing Commission in February 2026, but she's been acting with Musique & Masque since she was in the fifth grade, and now her daughter joins her onstage!

Laura says that M & M was a huge influence in her youth, both as a social outlet and getting her started as an amateur musician. She joined the Commission to help carry this amazing community forward so all our children can be welcomed, mentored, and encouraged for many years to come.

Laura's current favorite musical is Operation Mincemeat, but she says Ragtime will always hold a special place in her heart.

Traci has served as an at-large Commission member since March 2025.  Traci's daughters have been involved with Musique & Masque since 2017,  and she'd often help with tickets and concessions.

Traci chairs the summer education committee of Musique & Masque.

Traci performed in her first show in 2025 as a Nun in The Sound of Music. She said it was a treat to be in a production with her daughters and with this warm and supportive company.

Traci's favorite musical is Moulin Rouge! The Musical. 

Jessica has served as an at-large Commission member since June 2025. While not a performer herself, Jessica is a long time lover of the theatre and is excited to help support this wonderful and welcoming community theatre program.

Jessica's seen too many musicals to choose a favorite but one of the top choices is most certainly Come From Away.
