BOARD OF DIRECTORS NOMINEES
JILL BARRI have been a member of Peoria Players theatre since 1999, previously serving on the board from 2000 – 2006. I have served as chair of the fundraising committee, a member of the 100th anniversary committee and have 3 times been a member of the play selection committee, including serving as the chair for one season. I have twice been awarded the Presidents 110% award (2002 and 2016).
I have contributed to the success of Peoria Players Theatre both on-stage and off-stage, serving primarily off-stage as costume chair for a wide variety of shows including most recently Kinky Boots (2020), Million Dollar Quartet (2019) and Mamma Mia! (2018). |
My day job is in sales and marketing with UNFI (United Natural Foods International) as a Bakery Deli consultant, a career that I have held for nearly 40 years. In this position, I am responsible for managing a sales budget of over 20 million dollars annually. I view my job in bakery/deli sales as very similar to selling theatre tickets -- it’s for something fun and non-essential. It’s something people want but don’t necessarily “need.” It takes a lot of marketing experience and savvy to sell something to consumers they don’t “need.”
I am committed to assisting Peoria Players rebound and reopen season 2021 – 2022 stronger than ever.
