A North Carolina native, Jordan has been involved with the Buskirk-Chumley Theater since moving to Bloomington in 2017. With an educational background in Social Work and Arts Administration, Jordan has been curious about the intersection of community, downtowns and quality of place, and the arts. As the Events Director, Jordan loves participating in creating space for people to come have fun, learn something new, or step back in time. Jordan loves getting to visit her sisters in the Blue Ridge Mountains, fall mornings with a comfy sweater, and good beer.

While working on his AS in Audio Technology degree from IU (Class of 2001), David began working for the local chapter of IATSE stagehands. Occasionally, those work calls lead him to the BCT. After graduating, he began working for a local sound company, became a Journeyman for IATSE, worked independently as an audio engineer, and has served as the BCT’s technical director since 2017. David enjoys visiting the numerous parks around southern Indiana, keeping his cats appeased, and riding his motorcycle on the twisty highways and byways of the area.
