Supporting comments: "Gretchen has given wonderful, thoughtful performances in a varied array of important main stage roles while, at the same time, leading in those critical behind-the-scene roles. She served as the House Manager for Denison University Theatre for three years, as Box Office Manager for four years and as Co-Producer of The Vagina Monologues and as the Assistant Stage Manager for the premiere of the professional John Davidson play at Denison, Father/Son and Holy Ghost. Gretchen also provides outstanding leadership that often takes place out of the sight of institutional programs. She has the ability to motivate and mentor others, to take initiative and exercise judgment and maturity and to act with integrity and honesty. Very self-aware and very comfortable with her identity, she is able to support and affirm the identity of others with grace and wisdom."
