It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Renee Henne. She and her family have been involved with Tropic Troupe since our 2008 production of Oklahoma. She was well known as "Mama Henne", the woman that made sure every child had the support they deserved. She took many people into her heart and was a huge supporter of Tropic Troupe, as well as the LHS Chorus. She hosted practices, made cookies, gave rides, sewed costumes, and was always in high spirits, even through her own painful disease. In every TT video, you can hear her distinct "Whoooo!" as she cheered on every single last Tropic-Trouper and for her tremendous love and support we are thankful. We offer our condolences to Steve, Dexan, and Seth in this difficult time. Rest in peace, Renee.
