Rhonda Schmidt, the Executive Director of Waukesha Civic Theatre, joined the WCT team last winter, wanting to take a role in her local theatre to benefit the community, continue her work with kids in theatre, and help WCT get to the next phase of its journey.

Rhonda is a Waukesha resident, a producer, director, fundraiser, designer, and teacher. In her personal life she is a wife, mother of three, and zoo wrangler of several pets. Rhonda’s last directorial work could be seen on the WCT stage and in live stream - Big Fish produced by Waukesha Civic Theatre this March...and June.

Rhonda is joining us today to discuss five things she considered while directing an ensemble.
