Secretary

An Aroostook native, librarian, and beekeeper, Parker Smith moved to Oregon in 1995 at the age of eleven, returning to the County with family in tow in 2019 to accept a position at the Walter T. A. Hansen Memorial Library in Mars Hill. Though active in theater during high school, Parker stepped away from the stage for over two decades before taking on a tech role in CCP's 2024 production of Steel Magnolias. Since then, Parker's involvement with the Community Players has expanded to include acting, producing, and joining the CCP board.
