Greg, Audrey II, and Oliver

Greg Rawls and I met in a high school production of Bye Bye Birdie.

Since then, we’ve enjoyed watching and participating in theatre (including the set he made for my first directorial effort, Oliver!)

Now, in retirement, he’s working with the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Performing Arts and created Audrey II for its Little Shop of Horrors.

He’s also an accomplished glass artist having won the 2012 Cooper River Bridge Run poster competition for a poster made almost entirely out of glass.

In his spare time, he’s a paddler for DragonBoat Beaufort and Oliver’s doting “dad.”
