FFP Says a Final Goodbye to Nancy Runta
Fort Findlay Playhouse lost a long-time player on February 2 when Nancy Jo Brooks Runta (75) passed away following a battle with melanoma a recent stroke and hydrocephalus
Nancy began her career at the playhouse in 1963 during the run of Light Up the Sky working on costumes Nancy was involved with the playhouse for 44 years her last being A Night of Old Time Radio in 2007
She did almost everything one can do in community theater director actor singer and dancer she ran lights and sound worked on props did make-up costumes set construction set dressing hair styling and cleaning the building She served as secretary vice- president and president of the board and as the FFP historian She also served on the OCTA board as a member at large and as secretary
Nancy didnrsquot come alone to FFP she brought her husband Chuck who also worked on Light Up the Sky and worked back stage on several shows He worked mainly with set construction and dressing as well as some photography His last show at FFP was 84 Charing Cross Road in 1990 Nancy
received the Annual Recognition Award in 1971 and was the special presenter when Chuck received the award in 1991
Nancyrsquos children were also involved at FFP over the years Her son David participated in 18 productions between Death of a Salesman (1973) and Annie (1987) Her daughter Karen also started her FFP career with Death of a Salesman and she participated in 22 productions up until A Bit Between the Teeth (1989) But it doesnrsquot stop there Nancyrsquos daughter-in-law Ann also worked on two shows at FFP The Childrenrsquos Hour and Annie both in 1987
Nancyrsquos ldquoreal jobrdquo was as a special education teacher at Lincoln Elementary School She combined her job with her love of the BGSU hockey teams Her classes would make posters for the team and team members would visit from time to time
Nancy spent many hours in her retirement years in Sanibel Florida tending to animals at the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) In 2011 she was an honored volunteer for her 700 hours given to the cause Donations in Nancyrsquos honor may be made generally to The CROW Clinic of Sanibel Island or earmarked especially for ldquoNancyrsquos Memorial Bench Fundrdquo also at CROW This is a fund that her friends have arranged in order to place a bench on the grounds of the wildlife clinic in recognition of the hundreds of hours she worked there as a volunteer
As Nancy said on her blog Sand Between My Toes ldquochange happens in our lives I have recently had a big change We were living our dream on Sanibel Island Florida then my husband was diagnosed with cognitive disorder dementia It was time to be
near family for help and support so we moved to El Cajon California to be near our daughter and her family Life is different here but it is so nice to be near family It will take time to adjust but I am flexiblerdquo
Nancy was a friend and mentor to many people Nancy herself said in her blog after having lost a close friend unexpectedly ldquocall a friend today and tell them how much they mean to yourdquo Nancyrsquos daughter Karen said it best on a Facebook post ldquoIn the wake of having lost my mother I have received so many notes and kind words that express how she affected peoples lives I dont think she understood at all how much she meant to people In her memory I would like to request that each of you look into your heart to see who were your mentors who changed your life for the better and WRITE TO THEM now while they are still
alive and let them know how much they meant how they changed the world or at least your world just a little bitrdquo
A Celebration of Life open house for Nancy will be held at FFP on Sunday April 14 from 1 to 4 pm Please join us as we celebrate a life well-lived We will gather to raise a glass and reminisce together to celebrate the life and memory of Nancy ndash a wife mother aunt grandmother teacher friend and mentor Refreshments and good conversation will be provided

Nancy began her career at the playhouse in 1963 during the run of Light Up the Sky working on costumes Nancy was involved with the playhouse for 44 years her last being A Night of Old Time Radio in 2007
She did almost everything one can do in community theater director actor singer and dancer she ran lights and sound worked on props did make-up costumes set construction set dressing hair styling and cleaning the building She served as secretary vice- president and president of the board and as the FFP historian She also served on the OCTA board as a member at large and as secretary
Nancy didnrsquot come alone to FFP she brought her husband Chuck who also worked on Light Up the Sky and worked back stage on several shows He worked mainly with set construction and dressing as well as some photography His last show at FFP was 84 Charing Cross Road in 1990 Nancy
received the Annual Recognition Award in 1971 and was the special presenter when Chuck received the award in 1991
Nancyrsquos children were also involved at FFP over the years Her son David participated in 18 productions between Death of a Salesman (1973) and Annie (1987) Her daughter Karen also started her FFP career with Death of a Salesman and she participated in 22 productions up until A Bit Between the Teeth (1989) But it doesnrsquot stop there Nancyrsquos daughter-in-law Ann also worked on two shows at FFP The Childrenrsquos Hour and Annie both in 1987
Nancyrsquos ldquoreal jobrdquo was as a special education teacher at Lincoln Elementary School She combined her job with her love of the BGSU hockey teams Her classes would make posters for the team and team members would visit from time to time
Nancy spent many hours in her retirement years in Sanibel Florida tending to animals at the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) In 2011 she was an honored volunteer for her 700 hours given to the cause Donations in Nancyrsquos honor may be made generally to The CROW Clinic of Sanibel Island or earmarked especially for ldquoNancyrsquos Memorial Bench Fundrdquo also at CROW This is a fund that her friends have arranged in order to place a bench on the grounds of the wildlife clinic in recognition of the hundreds of hours she worked there as a volunteer
As Nancy said on her blog Sand Between My Toes ldquochange happens in our lives I have recently had a big change We were living our dream on Sanibel Island Florida then my husband was diagnosed with cognitive disorder dementia It was time to be
near family for help and support so we moved to El Cajon California to be near our daughter and her family Life is different here but it is so nice to be near family It will take time to adjust but I am flexiblerdquo
Nancy was a friend and mentor to many people Nancy herself said in her blog after having lost a close friend unexpectedly ldquocall a friend today and tell them how much they mean to yourdquo Nancyrsquos daughter Karen said it best on a Facebook post ldquoIn the wake of having lost my mother I have received so many notes and kind words that express how she affected peoples lives I dont think she understood at all how much she meant to people In her memory I would like to request that each of you look into your heart to see who were your mentors who changed your life for the better and WRITE TO THEM now while they are still
alive and let them know how much they meant how they changed the world or at least your world just a little bitrdquo
A Celebration of Life open house for Nancy will be held at FFP on Sunday April 14 from 1 to 4 pm Please join us as we celebrate a life well-lived We will gather to raise a glass and reminisce together to celebrate the life and memory of Nancy ndash a wife mother aunt grandmother teacher friend and mentor Refreshments and good conversation will be provided

FFP Says a Final Goodbye to Nancy Runta
Fort Findlay Playhouse lost a long-time player on February 2 when Nancy Jo Brooks Runta (75) passed away following a battle with melanoma a recent stroke and hydrocephalus
Nancy began her career at the playhouse in 1963 during the run of Light Up the Sky working on costumes Nancy was involved with the playhouse for 44 years her last being A Night of Old Time Radio in 2007
She did almost everything one can do in community theater director actor singer and dancer she ran lights and sound worked on props did make-up costumes set construction set dressing hair styling and cleaning the building She served as secretary vice- president and president of the board and as the FFP historian She also served on the OCTA board as a member at large and as secretary
Nancy didnrsquot come alone to FFP she brought her husband Chuck who also worked on Light Up the Sky and worked back stage on several shows He worked mainly with set construction and dressing as well as some photography His last show at FFP was 84 Charing Cross Road in 1990 Nancy
received the Annual Recognition Award in 1971 and was the special presenter when Chuck received the award in 1991
Nancyrsquos children were also involved at FFP over the years Her son David participated in 18 productions between Death of a Salesman (1973) and Annie (1987) Her daughter Karen also started her FFP career with Death of a Salesman and she participated in 22 productions up until A Bit Between the Teeth (1989) But it doesnrsquot stop there Nancyrsquos daughter-in-law Ann also worked on two shows at FFP The Childrenrsquos Hour and Annie both in 1987
Nancyrsquos ldquoreal jobrdquo was as a special education teacher at Lincoln Elementary School She combined her job with her love of the BGSU hockey teams Her classes would make posters for the team and team members would visit from time to time
Nancy spent many hours in her retirement years in Sanibel Florida tending to animals at the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) In 2011 she was an honored volunteer for her 700 hours given to the cause Donations in Nancyrsquos honor may be made generally to The CROW Clinic of Sanibel Island or earmarked especially for ldquoNancyrsquos Memorial Bench Fundrdquo also at CROW This is a fund that her friends have arranged in order to place a bench on the grounds of the wildlife clinic in recognition of the hundreds of hours she worked there as a volunteer
As Nancy said on her blog Sand Between My Toes ldquochange happens in our lives I have recently had a big change We were living our dream on Sanibel Island Florida then my husband was diagnosed with cognitive disorder dementia It was time to be
near family for help and support so we moved to El Cajon California to be near our daughter and her family Life is different here but it is so nice to be near family It will take time to adjust but I am flexiblerdquo
Nancy was a friend and mentor to many people Nancy herself said in her blog after having lost a close friend unexpectedly ldquocall a friend today and tell them how much they mean to yourdquo Nancyrsquos daughter Karen said it best on a Facebook post ldquoIn the wake of having lost my mother I have received so many notes and kind words that express how she affected peoples lives I dont think she understood at all how much she meant to people In her memory I would like to request that each of you look into your heart to see who were your mentors who changed your life for the better and WRITE TO THEM now while they are still
alive and let them know how much they meant how they changed the world or at least your world just a little bitrdquo
A Celebration of Life open house for Nancy will be held at FFP on Sunday April 14 from 1 to 4 pm Please join us as we celebrate a life well-lived We will gather to raise a glass and reminisce together to celebrate the life and memory of Nancy ndash a wife mother aunt grandmother teacher friend and mentor Refreshments and good conversation will be provided

Discussed the mid-year delegates meeting that has been set for April 6th People felt like the agenda would need to be strong They would also like this meeting to be paired with a possible show in the evening to make the trip worth the drive Also not sure if April 6th would work as this is spring break for many teachers
Talked about 60 baskets for 60 years Talked about at regional having people bring ldquothe best from the Northwestrdquo items for baskets Examples given were Tony Packorsquos Sauderrsquos Ballreichrsquos Spanglerrsquos Ohio Art
Michelle Johnson will work on an article for Cuelines on Shrek The Musical to highlight the Northwest being the first OCTA theatre to do this newly released MTI show
The next meeting is March 23rd
with lunch provided at noon and the meeting starting at 1 pm The meeting will be at the home of Jesse Bernal at 1933 Winesap Dr Holland Ohio Tickets will be arranged to see Born Yesterday at The Village Players
