Lynne Hummell
Board Member and Director of Community Relations
A native South Carolinian, Lynne Cope Hummell was first intrigued by the theatre as a freshman in high school. After moving to Hilton Head Island in 1984, she found her people at the Community Playhouse. She became a steadfast volunteer with the theatre, and also served on boards and committees for a number of other nonprofit organizations. In the early 2000s, as director of development for Island School Council for the Arts, she was responsible for its four annual fundraising events, including An Evening of the Arts.
Later, with her artist husband and two sons, she was involved with Main Street Youth Theatre, serving on the board of directors as well as appearing in two plays. More recently, she has been cast in shows at May River Theatre.
As a long-time (and recently retired) journalist and editor, Lynne made it a priority to promote and support the community’s artistic endeavors of all kinds via print media.
Lynne is eager to serve on the board of Sea Glass Stage Company to help build interest, appreciation and support of the performing arts.
Sarah Clemmons
Sarah has been involved with theatre and performing since she was a child. Her first role was a bit part in a Normal (IL-that’s right, Normal) Parks and Recreation Theatre Camp production of The Tortoise and the Hare story. She’s gone on to play Paddington (the dropped line still haunts her!), Marta in Sound of Music, and a hundred unnamed background characters in the choruses of Fiddler on the Roof, The Music Man, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and West Side Story. Local productions include: All Together Now, and multiple holiday productions through both Sea Glass Stage Company and Bluffton School of Dance. Sarah’s true passion is music whether that’s singing live or at the top of her lungs in the car or shower. She also loves traveling for concerts or shows. Sarah is excited to contribute to the continued growth of Sea Glass Stage Company as a board member.
