Joy Manweiler

Joy Manweiler hails from Princeton, WI and is a 2008 graduate of Lawrence University in Appleton, WI with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music and a Minor in Theatre Arts. While at Lawrence, she was a four-year member of the Cross County and Track & Field Teams, serving as team captain and receiving the teams’ Most Valuable Award on multiple occasions, was a representative on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, earned Academic All-Conference & Dean’s List honors, and was a writer and photographer for the Arts & Entertainment and Sports sections for the university’s newspaper, The Lawrentian. She studied abroad for ten weeks in London and while there was privileged to work with English Touring Theatre as the office intern and in one busy stretch saw 12 theatrical performances in 16 days. To conclude her senior year at Lawrence she presented a lecture titled “The Power of Music in the Civil Rights Movement”. A job at Lawrence’s Björklunden in Baileys Harbor brought her to Door County, and she continued to reside there until fall 2009 when she moved to the sprawling Village of Sister Bay. Her non-AFT activities include serving as vice president of the Isadoora Theatre Company Board, assistant coaching Gibraltar High School’s Cross Country and Track & Field teams, singing with the Peninsula Chamber Singers, and waitressing at Husby’s. She intends to pursue Stage Management in the future, having enjoyed stage managing two student-produced shows at Lawrence and assisting on Isadoora’s She Loves Me in February 2009. In all of the rest of her time, which is obviously plentiful, she likes participating in road races, duathlons & triathlons, traveling, spending time with her boyfriend, going to movies & live theatre, and relaxing.
