LIBBY PENNINGTON »

DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

Libby Pennington is ecstatic to be joining the Market Theatre team! She has been part of the theatre community for years, starting as a kid actor and into her teen years. She took a break to raise her three beautiful children: Kaylee, Kelsey, and Ben. Theatre was always in her bones, and she returned to the stage in 2014. She has been a part of multiple productions at many Upstate theatres including Market Theatre, SC Children's Theatre, Mill Town Players, and Glow Lyric Theatre. She served as the Vice Chair and Chair of the Community Theatre Division of the Southeastern Theatre Conference. 

Libby is an advocate for live theatre and the contributions it makes to actors, patrons, and the community as a whole. Libby believes in theatre as an art form that develops creativity, empathy, and genuine love for others. She wholeheartedly believes in the mission of Market Theatre: that the arts are for EVERYONE! 

“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” – Oscar Wilde
