David's Story

Life So? Now retired, still living in Tahoe and doing theatre projects for fun, my last official gig was an interim Dean of Business Design and Workforce at Cañada College in Woodland CA. Prior to that I was the Dean of Visual and Performing Arts at Folsom Lake College. For about 20 years I was the Director of Theatre at Lake Tahoe Community College where I got to help design and build the new theatre (which opened in 1996) and managed to get Kurt Munger on as a full time Technical Director in 1997. (Gee, Dave and Kurt in Tahoe doing theatre, who would have thought?). Kurt retired summer 2023. Got to write a couple shows writing the book and co-writing lyrics for "Beauty", a book musical we produced and also wrote "Guilty Pleasures", a musical review we wrote about living and visiting Tahoe, which premiered at the Boathouse Theatre and ran (with updates) for about 9 summers. In Spring 2004, we wrote and produced "Lysistrata's War" , a rock opera loosely based on the Greek play. In the summer of 2005 we took it to the Edinburgh Festival fringe in Scotland and got some great reviews. It also went to the Victoria Fringe Festival in ...Expand for more
2008. I still get to perform occasionally for fun, still performing with the Tahoe Improv Players every summer, and doing some song writing for a band we created called Exceeding 55. For back history, After finishing my BA at CSUS in the 70s, I did my MA at San Diego State and eventually an MFA in acting from UC Davis. In the 80s I was in the Bay area being a poor starving actor and performed with Berkeley Repertory, Marin Theatre Company and Shakespeare San Francisco among others. I even spent a few months working at The Great American Melodrama down in Bakersfield (yee-ha). I have been the film reviewer for the Tahoe Mountain News for the last 30 years and do a local TV station film spot called "Dave's Movie Minute" I am also currently serving on the city of South Lake Tahoe's Arts Culture and Tourism commission. Outside theatre I have worked with both the Tahoe Area Mountain Bike Association and the Tahoe Rim Trail Association. I have been with my wife Teresa since 1995 and am proud of the fact that I have never made anyone pregnant (that I know of). I try to get out on foot, mountain bike, kayak or ski as much as possible.
