Dave Bradley has been a member of The Players’ Board of Directors for a total of eleven years, from 2011 to the present, and has served for most of those years as Recording Secretary.  Dave has been a member of The Players since 1996, when he appeared in the Aladdin pantomime and then performed in the 32nd Old Time Music Hall production.  Since then, he has performed in and built set for numerous Players’ productions and has also sung in a large number of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas in the Washington area.  Dave worked as an attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice for twenty-nine years and served for four years as an officer in the U.S. Navy.

Alan Gelb has been a loyal member of The British Players for over 20 years, attending almost every production and certainly, every Music Hall.  He has served as a Trustee for six years. Alan retired as a Director at the World Bank but went on to research international financial issues at the much respected Center for Global Development in Washington.  While he ended his career at the World Bank as Director of Research, he had spent much of it leading the Bank’s work in the financial sector and is a leading expert in financial sector issues in the former socialist countries.  His theatrical pursuits have taken him beyond audience participation as he has led a local play reading group in Bethesda, MD, for many years.  Alan’s combination of a love of British theatre and his financial sector skills make him a perfect fit for our Board of Trustees.
