Janel LAGESCHULTE
Marshalltown, IA
Janel has
been volunteering at MCT since 1986, doing everything from onstage
(acting), backstage (props and makeup), front stage (lights), side stage
(stage managing), and all over the stage (directing). She has lost count
of the productions she has been involved with, but some of her favorites
are GASLIGHT, STEEL MAGNOLIAS, PLAYING DOCTOR, THREE TO GET READY, and
LEND ME A TENOR, having directed the latter three. Managing three medical
clinics by day, being the drama coach at Colo-Nesco High School, and
staying involved with MCT by night keeps her moving. Janel has been
playing opposite her favorite leading man (husband, Kevin) since 1989, and
remembers bringing both daughters, Kelli and Jill, to rehearsals in baby
carriers.
