Roswell Community Little Theatre Spotlight: Dan Coleman

Dan Coleman’s hearty laugh and engaging presence cannot be ignored. He is a REALTOR® and corporate sales manager for Berkshire Hathaway HomesServices Enchanted Lands REALTORS® in Roswell, NM. Working with Dan in real estate, band boosters, theatre, or even planning a trip to a nearby performance is a delight. From his larger than life personality, to his way of welcoming everyone, he truly has a gift for enjoying life.

Dan has lived in Roswell since he was nine and is active in many areas of the community. In high school he participated in drama, and as an adult Dan’s mother took him to performances for every theatrical company in Roswell. He has supported theatre financially and been active behind the scenes for much of his adult life. Dan finally threw his hat in the ring at Roswell Community Little Theatre. Dan tried out for and gained the the role of Arthur Jarvis in Francine’s Will.

Dan enjoys bringing a character to life for an audience. The study in character and artistry in bringing the character forth keep Dan coming back for more.

Dan tells of his first time stepping on stage in a live performance. He was thrilled and hooked. He played the Abominable Snowman in Santa’s Talent search and tells of losing himself in the super hero part.

Dan is a joy to work with on or off stage. As a stage manager his talent for organization and understanding of the theatre are put to perfect use. Often, before a director can even ask, Dan has identified the need and provided the solution.

Dan’s study of character and diligence in bringing out a role, make him a frequent pick for directors. Dan creates a sense of family on and off stage. If you are in a play with Dan, you are in his pack and he will make things go as well for the pack as he can.
