Board of Directors

Susan Demers

President

Susan Demers has been a Pinellas County resident since 1971 and has had the happy opportunity to see the tremendous growth in our arts communities. An attorney by training she has counseled or served on the boards of a variety of arts organizations but has never worked with an organization in which she finds more common cause than West Coast Players. Over the years, Ms. Demers has acted in, directed, supplied technical support for, or written a wide variety of plays, many of them at West Coast Players. She spends her days (and nights and weekends!) as an administrator at St. Petersburg College.

Brad Brady

Vice President / Artistic Director

Brad is a native of Baton Rouge, La (GEAUX TIGERS), but has been in the Clearwater area since 1989. He began acting in the 4th grade and hasn’t stopped since. With a Theatre Education degree from USF, he spent about 20 years teaching high school theatre at various schools in the Tampa area. He has served as chairperson for the District V Jr Thespians as well as the District IV Thespians. He served as webmaster for Florida Association for Theatre Education and is currently a board member of the Florida Theatre Conference. Brad’s first experience with WCP was way back with Lone Star (still the most fun he’s had on stage) and since then he’s been seen on this stage many times. All that theatre in his background and now he sells real estate, go figure!
