The Rave Reviews Team:

Sharon Allison, President

Sharon’s professional roots in show business led her to the unique partnering of entertainment with the vital communication needs of businesses. Since its inception in 1990, she has guided the growth of Rave Reviews with creativity, passion, and love, in an industry where longevity is not the norm. She is active on the board of the Ronald McDonald House, and is a marvelous Italian cook.

Shanti Chacko, Vice President of Operations

Shanti brings her East Coast professionalism and keen eye for detail to the financial and practical side of the business; she’s the glue that holds everything together at Rave Reviews. Shanti is also a committed community volunteer, and skilled Colorado perennials gardener, with a special penchant for roses.

Rob Costigan, Production Manager

Rob has been an invaluable member of the Rave Reviews team since 1999. A talented actor in his own right on the Denver theater scene, he knows where to find the cream of talent for Rave Reviews productions, and brings his professional experience to every aspect of production. In 2010, Rob was nominated for a Henry Award, and has also won a Denver Drama Critics award.

Julie Payne, Head Writer

Julie has an amazing aptitude for getting the voice and tone of clients and their business needs. As an experienced corporate writer, she brings years of business writing savvy to the table as she regularly tackles projects for Rave Reviews with wit and creativity. Julie has an extensive background in acting, directing, and play production, is a published playwright, and co-owns J&J Copywriters.

Donna Debreceni, Musical Director

Donna Debreceni, a third generation Denver native, has been playing piano and keyboard instruments since she can remember. She is a three-time Ovation Award winner and the recipient of a prestigious Henry Award for musical direction. Donna enjoys performing on stage or in the pit, and has arranged many fully orchestrated accompaniment tracks for such Colorado venues as Town Hall Arts Center and the Backstage Theater, among others. She keeps her rock chops up by playing with the band "Tropical Coyotes" and is thrilled when Rave Reviews calls her for a project.
