Jeff Mullin is excited to support APA Musical Theatre this year as your treasurer. His daughter, Cameron Mullin, is a freshman this year after his son (Carter) graduated from APA MT last year! He comes from a banking background with 15 years experience. When he isn’t crunching numbers, he’s watching the Dodgers or he’s out walking his beloved dog, Luna. He has been married to his wonderful wife Jennifer for over 20 years.
Mary is a proud mother of her junior son, Dave. During 2020-2021 she served as the freshman parent representative. While challenges existed, many of the freshmen were still able to attend a few of the local outdoor gatherings she arranged. She is honored to serve on the APA MT Board as VP of Procurement.
Mary has volunteered in many different positions with musical theater outside of school. She has aided the technical group on sound and microphones, served hundreds of hot dogs at the concession stands, sold merchandise and raffle sales, show ticket sales at the door, usher, has been the "shush Mom" in backstage supervision, and has been editing manager and editor for playbills/programs. Outside of musical theater, she has also volunteered with all things school & parent associations; PTSA President, historian, class reps, book fair chair, fundraiser chair, membership chair. She was also an advisor to the inaugural VAPA board for Marine View.
Watching the students grow and enjoy themselves are her favorite aspects of musical theater. She is happy for her son to have the experience to work with Tim and Diane and looks forward to seeing what they can do to help him grow his musical theater talents.
