STEPHANIE HAARMAN

Owner

Although relatively new to the theatre industry, Stephanie was introduced to it through her association with Alan and decided to fund Alibi Players. With a background in management and marketing, it did not take long for Alibi Players to become successful under her guidance. Branching out to become a full service theatrical entity was the logical next step.
