Our Board

Jove Graham (President) received his B.A. in Theatre Studies from Swarthmore College, has worked behind the scenes or onstage at People’s Light & Theatre Company (Malvern, PA), Montgomery Playhouse (Gaithersburg, MD), Bucknell University, and is a graduate of the Arden Theatre Company’s APA professional apprenticeship program (Philadelphia, PA) with an emphasis in marketing and production.  He has appeared in several RiverStage productions and has directed mainstage shows including Fools, Wonder of the World, The Fantasticks, Pirates of Penzance, Monty Python’s Spamalot, and most recently Tick, Tick… Boom! He works as a biomedical engineer and medical researcher.

Anne Griffin (Secretary) has been a registered nurse (RN) for all of her adult life, a career that has taken her around the world and back again. Growing up in Harrisburg, she loved attending community theatre performances. She has spent quality time backstage with the Lewisburg costuming experts, particularly at the high school level, and has more recently enjoyed time on the stage, appearing in Anne of Green Gables and Spamalot. In nearing retirement, she enjoys working with RiverStage as it continues to offer the region stimulating, thought-provoking and amusing entertainment.

Lindsey Sauer (Treasurer) brings theatre management experience to our board of directors, after having moved to the Lewisburg area in 2022 and being on the stage at RiverStage several times, most recently as Diana in Lend Me a Tenor. Other theatre credits include Big Mama in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with CTL, and Mrs. Cratchit in A Christmas Carol Experience with Micro Theatre on Broadway in Milton.

Stefan Eisenhower is a graduate of Shikellamy High School. Served in PA Army National Guard from 2008-2014. He has worked lighting and sound both in theatre and film production. Theatres include: Shikellamy High School Theatre, Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble, Gaspipe Theatre Company and Riverstage Community Theatre. Film Production: Fist in Post Films and Elephant Trunk Films.

Virginia Zimmerman is a Professor of English at Bucknell University and the author of two children’s books: The Rosemary Spell (Clarion Books 2015) and Pink a Women’s March Story (RP Kids 2022). She began acting in high school and enjoyed early success as a director when she was selected to direct at the Barns at Wolf Trap. She continued with theatre, both on stage and off, at Carleton College and then took a long hiatus before finding RiverStage and returning to acting in 2015. Since then, she has appeared in several local productions, including Dinner with Friends and The Pavilion (both with RiverStage) and Blue Stockings (at Bucknell), and she has directed twice for RiverStage: Anne of Green Gables (2019) and A Wrinkle in Time (2025).

Jillian Kerr, a 2014 graduate of Susquehanna University with a focus on theatre, has built an impressive career in the field. After completing two professional theatre apprenticeships in Michigan, she specialized as both a stage manager and production manager. Having learned much of her craft through hands-on experience, she now boasts a wealth of practical knowledge. Recently, Jillian had the opportunity to stage manage A Wrinkle in Time, marking her 35th show since graduating. When she’s not doing theatre she is probably talking about cats. 

RiverStage is also grateful for our memories of Derek Scott, who served on our board for many years and passed away in 2023. Derek will be remembered for a long time in the Lewisburg area as a co-founder of Gaspipe Theatre Company and a driving force in the arts, music and theatre scene. He directed several productions for us, including A Raisin in the Sun, Twelve Angry Men, and A Streetcar Named Desire.
