Dave Maier

Assistant Managing Director

Dave thankfully returns to the business of theatre after a brief eleven-year hiatus, during which he worked as a professional recruiter, aka headhunter, for his own firm in Sturgeon Bay, WI. Previously, in 1994, after attending the American Conservatory Theater Acting Academy in San Francisco, he joined the A.C.T. acting company as an Equity actor, eventually assuming additional roles as conservatory trainer, literary coordinator, and stage director. He was also Managing Director of the New Plays Program for seven years, where he produced over thirty premiere productions by dozens of nationally renown playwrights, many of which he either designed and directed. He also served as Artistic Director for Encore Theatre Company in San Francisco for eight years, an experimental summer repertory theatre which produced over two-dozen critically acclaimed theater productions. He married his muse, Barb, in 1983, and they and their two beautiful sons have been blessed to live in Door County for the past fourteen years.
