TERRI EDDINGS
Vice President

Born in Southern California, Terri has traveled extensively and has lived and/or gone to school in Switzerland, England and Ireland. Her multi-national life has been grounded in theater arts. Over the years, she has been involved with every aspect of theatrical production, both on stage and off.
 
Terri has been actively involved in sending packages to the troops abroad for a long time. First, she sent them to her son-in-law, Sergio Cuellar, when he was serving in Iraq. Then, she jumped into the United Airlines project with Joan Lawton. Now, as well as then, she is deeply committed to making the troops abroad feel appreciated.  As a mother of two and grandmother of two, giving back to these wonderful people who are putting themselves at risk is a top priority.
Both Terri and her husband work at the Magic Castle, a private club in Hollywood that is dedicated to the preservation and continuation of the art of magic. Not only is Terri the gift shop buyer and manager but she also handles the membership dues for 5,000 or so active members world-wide.  Her interest in magic stemmed from her mother’s performing close-up magic tricks around the house. Since then and the Castle’s opening in 1963, she dreamed of visiting the club.  Because all her family ties to the Castle were gone by the time she turned 21, she was afraid that dream would never be realized.  Now going into her 10th year as a full time employee, she has free run of the club and has taken every advantage - attending magic classes, decorating for Halloween, and currently co-producing and acting in the Magic Castle Theatre Company.
