Loren has been performing in community theater for fifteen years. His most recent stage credits include Love, Sex and the IRS (Mr. Jansen), Greetings (Mickey) and Pump Boys and Dinettes (Jim), all with Antioch Rivertown Theatre. Loren's offstage credits include set design and construction, lighting design and director of a one-act play in the recent Festival of One-Act Plays at Onstage Theatre in Pleasant Hill. This spring he will direct Biloxi Blues for Onstage Theatre. It's a Wonderful Life is one of Loren's favorite movies. He believes the strong message in the story still holds true today: "No man is a failure who has friends."
