Lisa Brannan – Stage Manager

Lisa has worked as the head of the Human Resources Department for Integrated Services of Kalamazoo for the past 25 years. As much as she loves her job, the mission of ISK and the people that she works with, Lisa is looking forward to graduating from work (retiring) in February 2025 so that she may enjoy more time exploring new interests, traveling, and volunteering.

Thanks to her son, DJ, one of her passions is live theatre and she has been volunteering as a Stage Manager, and in other backstage crew positions, with the Kalamazoo Civic Theatre for over a decade. Lisa was honored to receive the Spirit of the Civic Award in 2018. In addition, Lisa has stage management experience with Kalamazoo Pride in 2017, 2018 and 2022, and with TEDx Kalamazoo in 2018.

Lisa enjoys giving back to her community and has served on a variety of boards in the Kalamazoo Community. She spent seven years on the Kalamazoo Human Resource Management Association (KHRMA) Board supporting professionals who share her career, served as Committee Chair for Cub Pack 265 while her son was in scouting, served as the Marketing Chair while on Center Stage Theatre’s Board which was her first foray into live theatre, and recently joined the Kalamazoo Choral Arts Board to learn more about the diverse performing arts community outside of live theatre.

Lisa is currently unattached and resides in Galesburg with her good friend and the final cat.
