Proudly Celebrating 36 Years of Theatrical and Academic Excellence!

Ron Williams is a veteran performer and producer and has been the Musical Director for Stages Productions since 1993. The close collaboration between Ron and Rick D’Onofrio has produced several wonderful original musical scores as well as exciting arrangements of existing bodies of work. Classical training in piano, voice, composition and conducting at Taylor University and the University of Central Florida, as well as with several private teachers, along with his vast performance experience in styles ranging from classical to opera to jazz to pop to country to oratorio to gospel … you name it … has well prepared him to direct the musical endeavors for Stages.

In 1995, Ron founded LRM Studio Productions (http://www.lrmsp.com), a full service recording studio specializing in creating custom audio recordings for individuals with a variety of needs. Originally based in Orlando, the studio has since moved to Lakeland, Florida, sharing office space with Shepherd’s Community United Methodist Church where Ron is the Director of Music and his wife, Chris, is Worship Leader.

One serious limitation to Ron’s ability, however, is that he simply can’t dance. But through years of hard work with Rick and Terri as well as being married to a classically trained dancer, Ron has managed to master (rather mediocrely, to be quite honest) the Scissor Kick. Just ask him to do it for you sometime. It’s really quite entertaining … especially after the third or fourth kick when he falls over on his face.

Rhonda has a B.S. degree in Music Education from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. She has had the awesome privilege of teaching vocal music in grades 6-12 at Indian Rocks Christian School in Largo since 1992. Rhonda has not only conducted award winning choirs, but has also been music director for dozens of musicals and revue shows throughout the South. Some of her goals as a teacher are to help students identify their wonderful talent and to work hard to develop that gift. She is continually amazed at the creative abilities in these young people and truly loves seeing the progress they make each year. Rhonda genuinely cares about each student’s voice and is adamant about teaching good technique to bring out the best in every child. She thanks you for the opportunity to educate your child in the art of musical theatre.
