COREY CHAPPELL Advisory Chair / Public Relations
Corey is thrilled to be a part of the FON Family. She became involved with theatre as a way to spend time with her husband, Jerry, who was ALWAYS at rehearsal. Now it is difficult to determine which of them enjoys it more. While she typically prefers the aspect of directing, it is hard to keep Corey off-stage when there is a musical to be sung.

Melissa is very excited to be participating with Force of Nature. Jack-of-all trades; she enjoys her time both on the stage, as well as behind the scenes. An animal trainer by profession, she has enjoyed working with the company providing animal actors for some their projects. She also dabbles in make-up, set design and lighting and has enjoyed being able to spread her wings in these areas working on many projects. Recently she has been able to return to her roots by performing on stage as well. Every journey is exciting, and with every project a new opportunity to expand and create as an artist. Melissa is grateful for them all!

TOM JONES Fundraising Chair / Public Relations
A graduate of North Hollywood High School and CSU Northridge, Tom took a 40 year “hiatus” from performing to raise a family while “performing” as a restaurant and retail manager. He returned to the theater in 2015 and now acts, writes and directs for Force of Nature Productions. While still occasionally participating in other local theater and film projects, he serves on the FON board and identifies FON as his “home” theater. “FON gave me a chance to return to my first love. Sebastian and Andy created a safe, yet challenging place to grow as an actor, writer and director.”
