C. Danielle Deal

Who are you? Tell us a little more about yourself, your family, your interests, etc. I've lived in the York community on and off for about half my life and am proud to call York home. I absolutely love theatre and being involved in all aspects of it. I'm also a very, very part-time photographer. I've been doing the headshots for the Playhouse, coordinating photographers, and organizing/editing all the mainstage show photos used in promotions for almost ten years now.

Where do you work, volunteer, etc? I work at Sequoia Wealth Partners. I volunteer at the Playhouse...a lot. You've probably seen me involved both on stage and behind the scenes. I'm also currently involved in the Theatre Committee of the Creative Arts District.

Why would you like to serve on the Yorkshire Playhouse Board? I've been serving on the Board of Directors at the Playhouse for a number of years. During my time, I've worked to help develop the media that Playhouse produces, facilitated workdays of all types, partnered with others to better organize many areas of the Playhouse, and helped to produce some pretty fantastic seasons! I've been involved in two huge building projects, one after the flood and one to revamp the front of our building. I hope to continue being involved in the amazing work this fantastic community theatre produces.
