COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The name of long time Tibbits Summer Theater Artistic Director Charles Burr was added to the Alfred Parke mural in the lobby of the historic Opera House on Monday.
Part of Burr’s retirement celebration included the announcement that his name was going on the mural which contains the names of the many artists who have performed at the Tibbits over the years.
Burr retired this year as Artistic Director of the professional summer stock theater program at the Tibbits after serving in that position for almost three decades.
Peter Riopelle will take over the role of Artistic Director for the 2021 summer season.
Burr’s ties with Tibbits started in 1982 when he was first hired as an actor.
The native of Plymouth, Michigan studied under Gloria Logan, who is a longtime Tibbits Summer Theatrer favorite.
Between his seasonal duties at Tibbits he has worked as actor and director at theaters throughout Michigan and across the United States.
