HART ‘Volunteer of the Year’

Steve Lloyd and Michelle Free. Steve Lloyd and Michelle Free.

At the annual meeting of the Haywood Arts Regional Theatre Board of Directors on Jan. 21, HART Executive Director Steve Lloyd announced the theater’s “Volunteer of the Year” would be Michelle Free. 

Free is a familiar face to any regular patron of HART. She can be found helping out backstage as a stage manager, or simply helping cast members change costumes, behind the concession stand or helping Chef Christy Bishop in the kitchen at Harmons’ Den Bistro. 

To insure Free would be in attendance at the meeting, Bishop knew the best way to guarantee she would be there would be to ask Free to volunteer to help with the refreshments.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
