Serve on a Board
A dedicated, engaged Board of Trustees is essential to the management and well-being of our organization.

In addition, ELTC has a Board of Advisors, which it calls on periodically for assistance and insight into various programming and operational issues.

ELTC salutes the work and dedication of our volunteers, and is pleased to recognize their efforts in a variety of ways.
In recent years, local arts institutions have joined with us to celebrate the accomplishments of our volunteers and theater.
