roots for Texas A&M, where she earned degrees in journalism and English. She and her husband
are the parents of two young adult sons, a teenage daughter, and a completely crazy dog.
CASSANDRA GROSS (Business Manager) has lived in Chattanooga for the
last 20 years. Not coincidentally, she has been a 20-year volunteer or
employee of the Chattanooga Theatre Centre, performing in the Youth Theatre
and Mainstage musicals, assisting in the box office, teaching Summer
Academy, and chauffeuring TheatreQuest youth for their annual Atlanta
theatre weekend. She holds a bachelor’s degree from UTC in Accounting
(Go Mocs!), and now enjoys keeping a watchful eye over the financial life
of her beloved arts organization. Cassandra even met her husband, Lee, at the CTC and together
they are raising three wild, loud, lovely children: Sam, Siddalee, and Moses. In Cassandra’s spare
time she cooks, makes her husband laugh, and gardens…and knows the earth can heal you.
Proud to support the Chattanooga Theatre Centre
FirstTennessee.comCassandra firmly believes in the mission of the Chattanooga Theatre Centre and believes that
sharing our stories, in person, in our own voices, is one of the most powerful and loving things
that we can do as a community.
RICARDO C. MORRIS (Group Sales & Events Manager) is a native of
Chattanooga and attended Calvin Donaldson Elementary School and Alton
Park Junior High School. He is a 1980 graduate of Howard High School.
Ric continued his Tiger tradition by attending Tennessee State University
where he received his B.S. degree in Speech Communication and Theater.
After graduation Ric taught theater, English, and dance for eight years at
Hixson High. In 1994 he left teaching to attend Yale University, where he
earned an M.F.A. in Arts Administration. While attending Yale, Ric founded the Dwight/Edgewood
Project which worked with disadvantaged youth through play writing. This program earned
him the honor of being the first School of Drama student to become a Yale Presidential Fellow.
In addition to his current position at the CTC, he is also the owner and CEO of Renaissance
Consulting and Management (renaissanceconsultingmanagement.com) and the founder of the
Chattanooga Festival of Black Arts & Ideas: Juneteenth Commemoration Day. His past positions
include Executive Director of the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame in Birmingham where he founded
the Taste of 4th Avenue Jazz Festival. He also led the Harris Arts Center in Calhoun, GA, where
he created The International String Band Festival. He later founded the Green Street Arts Center
in Middletown, CT, and served as its Executive Director for four years. Ric is also credited with
founding and leading Chattanooga’s CultureFest for three years and the Glenwood Jazz Festival
for five years. As a theatre artist Ric considers himself a dancer/actor/director and has appeared
in several productions at CTC, including The Wiz, Hello Dolly, A Chorus Line, The Best Little
Whorehouse in Texas, The Boys Next Door, Dreamgirls, and The Names of the Dead. At CTC he
has directed A Streetcar Named Desire, Blues for an Alabama Sky, Bourbon at the Border, and
August Wilson’s Fences in 1997 and 2019. He has also directed Dinah Was… and The Amen Corner
at the Carver Theatre in Birmingham, AL. His other artistic endeavors and hobbies include
photography, quilting, cooking, gardening, home improvement, and design.
KITTY MURAKAMI (Box Office Assistant) is a relative newcomer to Chatta-
nooga, having moved here from Ocala, Florida, in 2015. She was raised in
upstate New York, graduated from the University of Connecticut School of
Pharmacy, and has lived in great places like Denver and Maui. Her first and
only experience with theatre (other than high school plays) started as a costume
shop volunteer at Ocala Civic Theatre for two years. After retiring as a
pharmacist and moving to Chattanooga, she continued volunteering at CTC
in the costume shop. After finally being offered a part-time Box Office Assistant position in 2016,
she was thrilled to become a part of the CTC family. “It has been an honor and a privilege as well
as a wonderful learning experience to be involved with this organization. CTC is blessed to have
such an amazing facility, talented dedicated staff and volunteers, and such supportive patrons.”
TODD OLSON (Executive Director) is entering his third season at CTC where
he has directed The Glass Menagerie, A Civil War Christmas, and Love, Loss,
& What I Wore. Recently Todd spent 11 years as Producing Artistic Director
at American Stage Theatre Company in St. Petersburg, FL. He was the 2013
recipient of the Florida Professional Theatre Association’s Richard G. Fallon
Award for “Excellence in Professional Theatre.” Todd has directed over 150
plays, musicals, and operas, including My Way (which he co-created) at
the Actor’s Theatre of Louisville, and I Left My Heart (also co-created) at Milwaukee Repertory
Theatre. For American Stage, Todd directed over 30 critically-acclaimed plays, including A Moon
for the Misbegotten, Anna in the Tropics, The Seafarer, Suddenly Last Summer, Three Days of Rain,
The Exonerated (with Sandy Duncan and Antonio Tarver), Dennis Lehane’s Coronado, Dinner withFriends, This Wonderful Life, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, August: Osage County, and Around the
World in 80 Days. Original works include new adaptations of Lysistrata and Dracula. Original works
include Hurricane Class, Section 60, Casa Blue, the last moments in the life of Frida Kahlo, and Joe
Corso Re-Enters from the Wings, which won the 2012 Holland New Voices Playwright Award at the
Great Plains Theatre Conference. Todd received his M.F.A. from The University of North Carolina and
is a graduate of the Institute for Advanced Theatre Training at Harvard, where he took classes with
David Mamet, Peter Sellars, Andrei Serban, Robert Scanlan, Robert Woodruff, Anna Deveare Smith,
and Robert Brustein, among others. Todd was a teaching fellow at Harvard and has taught classes at
Vanderbilt, Boston University, University of North Carolina, and the University of South Florida. Todd
and his wife, Charlotte, are the proud parents of Jonas, Corinna, and May.
WAYNE SCHOCK (Patron Services Director) is celebrating his 19th season
with CTC. He returned to Chattanooga after graduating college, saw some
plays with friends, then became a subscriber. “I loved the shows and the
evenings out with dinner and brought family and friends for a number of
years.” Wayne would become the Box Office Manager; there have been
only four in the 95-year history of the Little Theatre/Chattanooga Theatre
Centre! “I feel honored to be a part of this great community organization
with such rich history. I am proud of the productions we bring Chattanooga on a yearly basis
with local talent. I love getting to know the patrons show after show. I hope to be a part of this
great institution for many years to come.”
CHUCK TUTTLE (Director of Education and Outreach) holds a Master
of Fine Arts degree in Children’s Theatre and Creative Drama from the
University of Texas at Austin and has over 30 years of experience doing
theatre with and for young people. His professional background includes
serving as Director of Education at Austin Theatre for Youth and Children’s
Theatre Workshop in Pleasanton, California. Chuck has taught theatre
classes to all ages in acting, playwriting, technical theatre, Shakespeare,
voice, movement, improvisation, and comedy, among others. As an actor, he has taken on such
roles as Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, Joaquin in El Californio, Simon in The Caucasian Chalk
Circle, and Billy Crocker in Anything Goes (which he performed in Hokkaido, Japan). Directing credits
include Waiting for Godot, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, The Nightingale, The Crucible, Once on
This Island, and Go, Dog, Go! Chuck has written several stage adaptations, most recently Plant,

collaborated with composer Michael Huseman to create short musicals for CTC’s Summer Musical
Performance Training Academy. As sponsor and advisor of CTC’s teen interest group, TheatreQuest,
he contributes to and directs The Alphabet Plays, an ongoing series of plays for young children.
JULIE VAN VALKENBURG (Marketing Director) is overjoyed to be a member
of the Theatre Centre staff, transitioning her 25 years of volunteer experience
at the CTC into her dream job at her home away from home. She brings
over 30 years of experience in writing, marketing, media relations, graphic
design, and digital marketing to the role. As a volunteer, she has worked
onstage and backstage, including lending a hand as a stage manager (most
recently Les Miserables and Harvey) and, over the years, as a box office,
costume shop, scene shop, and special events volunteer. A six-time Miss Annie Award winner,
Julie appeared most recently in A Room with a View. After making her LTC/CTC debut in A
Streetcar Named Desire, she went on to other favorite roles in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and
