Meet the HPCP Board

2025-2026 Season

PRESIDENT

Dorothy Parsons

Dorothy has been a member of the HPCP since 2022 and has found some way to involve herself in every production whether it’s acting, singing, costumes, hanging lights, or publicity. She is excited to be directing our mainstage this fall. 


SECRETARY

Maya Igarashi

Maya joined the HPCP community in 2023 and has since been involved in numerous productions in both on-stage and off-stage roles. She is excited to support the wonderful season of shows we have coming up!


TREASURER

Ryan Kacani


PUBLICITY

Marilyn Cavicchia

Marilyn has been involved with the HPCP since 2017, first with the monthly Friday staged reading series and then in many other capacities as well. She is excited to direct live sound effects for this year’s Evening of Horror and Suspense and to direct our March 2026 mainstage show.


OPERATIONS

Michele Heinz

Michele has been involved with the Hyde Park Community Players since she spotted an audition flier for Antigone in 2010. She briefly relocated to Baltimore but realized her life was missing the HPCP magic, so she moved back to Hyde Park. In addition to acting, she particularly enjoys stage managing and helping with set builds.
