tephanie Crisco has grown her job as center supervisor for The Charles Mack Citizen Center—a job she landed when she was just 23 years old—to venue operations manager for the Town of Mooresville, which covers events at The Charles Mack Citizen Center, the Mooresville Golf Club banquet facilities, and the nearly completed performing arts center at Mooresville High School. Her responsibilities at the Citizen Center are the same, and she’ll be managing the Mooresville Golf Club’s banquet space and managing the new 1,600-seat performing arts center for 52 days of the year! The performing arts center, which will open in the summer of this year, is part of the Mooresville High School’s auditorium and gymnasium construction. Stephanie’s goal is to bring many different styles of musical acts—for all ages—to the venue and to bring series of six to seven theater performances, including off-Broadway numbers and residencies. “I envision having season passes available to patrons,” she says. “I want to bring this culture to Mooresville; we won’t have to drive into Charlotte anymore for entertainment.”
This kind of planning and growth is exactly what Stephanie visualized when she began this career. In a previous interview, she said, “I love the energy of maneuvering the details: scheduling, timing, and flow.” Today, she has amped up her game. “I like to know what my plan is,” she says. “We’ve been working on this project for a little over a year. Because it’s more and more difficult to get to Charlotte, we need to be able to accommodate dinners, hotels, events— and package deals—right here in Mooresville. If you look around town, it’s just perfect. We can continue to build our community around our kind, well-educated children and help them to be productive citizens.”
“The way I make
ʻit’ work may look very different from
the way someone else
makes it work."
Stephanie works on her community at home, too. She just celebrated her 10-year wedding anniversary with her husband, Ronnie, a family law, criminal, and construction attorney in Mooresville. The couple came to Mooresville when Ronnie was ready to pursue his law career. They have two children: Carter (7) and Natalie (3). In 2014, she said she knew she wanted to be a representative for a company and be a conduit to the media. And she’s making that dream a reality by using her strengths. She admits that Ronnie is the cook in the family, but that she loves to be a host. She loves to customize the food, the favors, and all the details to the occasion’s purpose. Stephanie is in her element—
