The Passing of Peggy Goodwin

From Loveland Stage Company’s Facebook page

Loveland Stage Company is heartbroken to announce that we have lost another wonderful member of the LSC family. Peggy Goodwin was a true behind-the-scenes angel—faithfully helping with programs, grant writing, offering counsel and advice to the board, tending our front-of-house plants, supporting the Loveland Film Festival, and giving her time wherever it was needed.

Peggy was an absolute delight to serve with. Not only was she consistently active and loyal to LSC, but she was also a Valentine Lady of Loveland, a dedicated volunteer for the Loveland Farmers’ Market, and a bright presence in so many spaces that uplift our community at large. Her hands, heart, and spirit will be greatly missed.
For those who knew her, and for those who may not have known her personally but have benefited from her beautiful work here, we offer our deepest condolences. We will continue striving to create, serve, and act with love in memory of the beloved members we have lost this year.

Peggy’s celebration of life will take place on January 18, 2026 from 1-2:30pm at Loveland City Hall.

Loveland Stage Company Partners with Toys For Tots

The Loveland Stage Company is excited to kick off our partnership with the Marines Toys for Tots program!

Outside of our theater there will be a Toys for Tots donation box where anyone can gift a needy child. (Toys must be new, in their original packaging and without any gift wrapping.) For our theater-goers there will also be a donation box in the lobby of the theater which will accept cash donations in lieu of toys. Last year over 5,000 needy children were gifted by the Toys-for-Tots program in Adams, Brown and Clermont counties alone.

Please consider a Christmas gift for youngsters whose families cannot afford much. More information can be found at: www.toysfortots.org/about/how-the-program-works.
