The Struthers Library Theatre Board of Trustees honored Bob Crowley as the twelfth Peacock Awardee in the theatre’s 141 year old history at its most recent board meeting.

Crowley is a leader in Warren non-profit circles who has played a role in the Struthers Library Theatre for most of the 21st century. His love for the theatre extends from his passion for music and drama – and really all the live arts – to a real concern for the wonderful building and community treasure in which the theatre is housed.

Crowley is known to some members of the theatre’s staff as “the badger” for the commitment that he showed to keeping track of finances and gifts and endowment income throughout his 12 years on the Board of Trustees, most of those as both treasurer and secretary. During that time, he worked with Marcy O’Brien, former executive director, and others on the board and staff through two capital campaigns. He continues to work for the financially healthy future he’s always envisioned for the theatre even though his board tenure has come to an end. He always wants to be sure that donors are appropriately recognized, and that their wishes are honored. He has an incredible gift for helping people who want to give to the Theatre – and to other Warren non-profits.

“His mind never stops working on how to make things better for philanthropy in Warren County and beyond, and organizations like the theatre benefit so much from his creative approaches,” theatre board members said in a news release. “He’s always been humble about taking credit and generous in teaching and helping others to improve their own skills. As we members look around the Theatre tonight, we see our Peacock awardee’s hand in the library room, the roof, the rehearsal hall, the plaques honoring donors, and more. None of these things happened solely because our Peacock awardee was involved, but in each of these he had an important steadying hand.”
