Meet Rita Stauffer:

Rita has been volunteering since she was 11—it's a big part of who she is. Volunteering at the Wagner Noël has given her as much as she has given it. It feeds her soul and lets her experience things she wouldn’t otherwise see. She has worked countless concerts, plays, and recitals—each special in its own way. Her first event was Greater Tuna, and she still remembers all the laughter. Her favorites include Josh Turner, Olivia Newton-John, and various tribute shows.

"I love helping patrons have a great time—dancing, singing, and enjoying the moment. If I'm in town, I'm there!"

Rita has been a true asset to our volunteer team, and we have become like a second family to her since she does not have any family locally.
