Chris Barnard

Marketing​

Chris threw caution to the wind when she decided to audition for Pinckney Players' Cinderella in 2022.  She was cast as The Herald and a Pinckney Player was born! In 2023 she was invited to join  the Board of Directors and she loves being a part of this talented group! 

Lynn Hoseney

Script Select

 Lynn Hoseney found her dramatic side with the Pinckney Players in The Sound of Music in 2011. Since then she has performed in a plethora of Players’ productions. This is Lynn’s second stint as a board member. She is happy to be back helping guide the Pinckney Players in a positive direction. Lynn recently retired from Pinckney Community Schools. In her free time (when she’s not memorizing lines) she enjoys golfing, playing with her granddaughters, and puttering around in her garden.

Katie Huber-Welty 

Historian / Pubic Relations

Katie has been with the Pinckney Players since playing the role of Beth in "Little Women" in 2007.  She has since lost track of how many shows she's music directed or performed in, but favorite roles include Maria in "The Sound of Music," Little Red Riding Hood in "Into the Woods", and Olive in "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee."  By day, Katie teaches grades 3-5 music at Three Fires Elementary in Howell.  When not at the theatre, Katie can be found at soccer or karate with her three children or puttering around the family garden with her supportive husband, Nick. She'd like to thank her dear friend, Christine, for encouraging her to fulfill her lifelong dream of joining the board!
