Presenting our 2019 Directors


Artistic Director: Renée Haines

Renée Haines of Southington is the artistic director for our 2019 production, Gilbert & Sullivan’s “Patience".  Haines is a SLOCO veteran who has played principal roles in nearly all the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. In 2016 she played Aline in SLOCO’s “The Sorcerer.” She is also a former president of the Connecticut Gilbert & Sullivan Society.
​

“Patience” will mark Haines’s first time in the director’s chair, but, to her, returning to SLOCO “feels like coming home again.” Haines is an honors graduate of the Hartt School of Music with a Bachelors of Music degree in Opera Performance.
