Sandy Belcuore first became involved with Ohio Thespians when the high school that her children attended was chosen as the host school for State Conference in 1995. She was a member of the parent booster group and was instrumental in making many of the site arrangements, especially meals. Sandy then joined the board and as school personnel changed, she became the sponsor. As Junior Thespians became a possibility for younger students, she chartered a junior troupe in the same school district. She was part of the planning committee for Ohio’s first Junior Thespian State Conference and has continued to participate long after her own children have graduated from the school system. She has assisted with hospitality rooms at various State Conference sites, and advised the State Student Officers for several years. She willingly attended and was the official chaperone for students from the Cincinnati area traveling to Lincoln for many years. Her dedication to Ohio Thespians, long after her parental ties to the school ended, is a testament to her dedication to theatre in Ohio.
