Speaker Bio: Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Regina moved to Michigan with her husband and 2 children in 1999. She’s spent her entire adult life connecting with volunteer organizations from School PTOs and Scouting to The Muscular Dystrophy Association and Jaycees. However, it wasn’t until her kids were old enough to join the local summer rec programs that she reignited her passion for the performing arts and found a way to engage those in need through theatre arts. As Co-Founder and Executive Director of Enter Stage Right, currently at The Citadel Stage in Downtown Port Huron,

Regina has the privilege of working with artists from all walks of life. She gets to bridge people come together that would have never otherwise had likely even met. She enjoys partnering with the community like the Diversity Initiative, SONS, NAACP, CMH, The Athletic Factory, Child Abuse and Neglect Council, Civic Theatre, The Process, The ParrotHead Club, A Beautiful Me, and so many more. Diversity is what makes us beautiful and she loves the richness of culture we have when we truly look.

Beyond theatre and community, Regina’s truest love is her family and friends, which she couldn’t do any of this without. Her husband, Brian, is the strongest person she knows and has been her rock for almost 40 years. Her son, Wesley, has just finished his PhD in Electrical Engineering at MSU, and will soon to be off to parts unknown to do great things. Finally, her daughter, Marisa, raising her voice and getting into good trouble in Lansing, is an advocate now for Disability Rights Michigan.
