A Concord resident, Joyce is a rudimental snare drummer with a penchant for music of the Revolutionary War era, and a general percussionist with the River’s Edge Community Band in Hudson and the Roaring Jelly contra dance band in Lexington. She thanks her sweetie, Bill Fisher, for introducing her to community theater in 2005, Kate Meifert and Steve Malionek for inviting her to play Iolanthe in 2007, and Nancy Burdine for being her orchestra management mentor. Joyce also manages orchestras for The Sudbury Savoyards and the Savoyard Light Opera Company of Carlisle.
