Lisa Wood, General Manager
Lisa Wood loves imagining the worlds and developing the characters in the plays she produces and has staged dozens of shows since earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Jacksonville University in Theatre and a Master of Arts in Education from the University of North Florida. Lisa has a million miles of imagination and a thousand shows she can't wait to produce. She has been playing pretend in the theatre since accidentally spitting a wad of chewing gum across the stage while singing a rendition of "All I Want For Christmas" while missing her actual two front teeth. She has been teaching children to be stars (and avoid her embarrassing mistake) since 2008. Mrs. Wood allows herself to be completely engrossed every time she steps into the theatre whether she is there producing or consuming. She is always completely overcome with the joy of her art.

Necol Ronda, Theatre Operations Manager
Necol Ronda has always found ways to bring the theatre into her everyday life. She went from writing skits with her siblings to keep away childhood boredom to earning a degree in Theatre Studies from Emory University. While she's tried on many different careers, she's never strayed too far from playing a character on stage, on camera, or just because. Necol loves looking at the big picture that creates a production and all of the little details that make it shine. She's over the moon to be a part of the Hive Rep team and keep acting a part of her life, and the opportunity to share that joy with future generations of actors, both young and old.

Tony Castellano, Director of Public Relations
Tony Castellano is a veteran of the United States Air Force where he was a Government Purchasing Agent. He grew up in Chicago, Illinois playing hockey, baseball, and football, but his real love was the theater. Tony fell in love with the theatre when he played “Jolly” the Elf in his 3rd grade Christmas play. He continued performing on stage in his high school production of “Grease” as Kenickie. Tony was quite active with his church drama team: performing on stage, building sets, and learning all the behind the scenes actions that happen before, during and after shows. Tony is currently pursuing a certificate in “The History of the Performing Arts” through New York University. When he is not on stage, he is a Fire Sprinkler Inspector. Tony really enjoys seeing others enjoy his passion as much as he does. He loves that he gets to leave the real world behind and become someone else when he’s on stage. This helps him to really be able to put himself in other people’s shoes.
