Peter Wing – Writer/Artistic Director/Board Member
Mr. Wing has been a board member to the Troupe for the past 12 years. His home is his castle, which is built on part of the family farm on which he grew up. Amongst Mr. Wing’s varying artistic talents are that of collector of things antique, keeper of the keys to the most fantastic Halloween experience in the fifty states and patron saint to this children’s program which he, and his equally hallowed wife, Toni, continue to support with their whole hearts. He also has vast and numerous film and stage credits, but is very modest about them so you will have to ask him yourself.
