At the 2022 May Artist Members’ Meeting, Pull-Tight Players selected four nominees to join its Board of Directors on July 1.

Those incoming include two first-time members and two who have previously served board terms.

Savannah Aiello will begin her first board term as Secretary. She has worked as stage manager and assistant director, helped with set construction and technical execution, and manages Pull-Tight’s social media accounts.

Cindy Davis Massey is a second-generation Pull-Tight Player. She most recently directed Crimes of the Heart, our return to live theatre following a long pandemic closure.

Bre Hall, serving a special one-year board term, brings recent theatre board experience to Pull-Tight. Her first appearance on our stage was in 2019’s Big Fish.

Johnny Peppers returns to the Board of Directors while continuing his role managing our virtual box office. Johnny directed 2018’s Boeing Boeing.

Other new board officers beginning their roles July 1 include Lynda Gibbs (president), Leslie Berra (vice president), Iain Macpherson (treasurer), and Wade Woodruff (parliamentarian).

Cast Is Set for ‘Madame Buttermilk’

March 4, 2022

If you hear the unusually mixed strains of Country Western and Opera music wafting from Pull-Tight Players Theatre on a weeknight in March, don’t be alarmed. Cast and crew members are busily preparing for the Tennessee debut of Madame Buttermilk, a musical comedy by Ross Carter.

The cast is as follows:


Carly – Chelsea Craig
Connor – Lee Davies, Jr.
Ford – Roger Csaki
Art – Jim Maden
Swaggart – Julie Murphy
Beemer – Art Peach
Kit – Meghan Russell
Dody – Daryle Tallent
Car Man – Stan Ferguson
Car Man – Mark Buchanan

Madame Buttermilk tells the story of Carly Speranza, who dreams of starring in the title role of the opera Carmen. When a phone call seemingly destined by fate pushes Carly into the limelight, it looks like a dream come true. Unfortunately, that chance of a lifetime puts her in the precarious position between earning stock and becoming the laughingstock.

Ross Carter’s family-friendly original musical promises to please patrons of all ages.

Co-directors Laurel Aiello and Beth Woodruff previously led Pull-Tight’s 2017 production of Legally Blonde.

The show will run April 1 through 16. General tickets will go on sale March 21.
