CEO/DIRECTOR OF TECHNOLOGY
The Director of Technology focuses on theatrical tools used for quality Live Theater performances, to augment the Actors’ abilities to convey the message of the script to the audience. These tools must not distract or alter the plot. They will assist the audience in understanding the meaning and nuances of the story.
Theater Technology for live theater is useless when it overwhelms the production. Keeping the voices heard, faces illuminated, and the mood in tune with the plot is vital. Chris is an IT specialist at his "real Job" and with HTP! A fun fact about Chris is that his wife, Kitty speaks better Japanese than he does!
SECRETARY/OUTREACH DIRECTOR
Kitty has been involved in theatre both on and off stage since childhood. She has a passion for theatre arts and for all involved with it's production. Performers, as well as support staff, have unique and stressful challenges and need to have access to counseling services in order to stay balanced and focused. Kitty provides this service, as well as handles the exit interviews, should the need arise. She also maintains a networking database, to help procure future employment for those leaving HTP . Serving with love, communion and confidentiality is her highest goal. A fun fact about Kitty is that she was born in October, yet she was born in the Spring! (in Brazil)

DIRECTOR OF DRAMA DEVELOPMENT/PLAYWRIGHT
Kanaan has been an active writer since 2007, starting with novels before being introduced to script formats. From there he studied film for a couple of years, dropping out of that, realizing that he could learn more through experience. Moving from there, he wrote and self-produced a few short films and web series. Ultimately, he has landed in playwriting. This is all thanks to his love for theater, since he was young enough to appreciate it, all the way up to having performed in community and professional theater productions. At the present time, although his production credits are still growing, he is excited to share his voice with the world. A fun fact about Kanaan is that he loves participating in Renaissance Fairs, as well as being a Wardrobe Master!
IN LOVING MEMORY
He spent 32 years in the business world. His last position was General Manager and CEO at Daiohs/ First Choice Services of Northern California. When he retired, he re-fired his life to get involved in other projects, and travel. He decided that after our drama performance of Prodigal in Ukraine, he wanted to do more in performing arts. A few of us decided to create Hidden Treasure Productions Corporation, and we are very excited about our future! A fun fact about Don is that he has more energy today than he had in his twenties, and he loves to walk at least five miles every day!
