✨️ ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING ✨️

Please note that the Annual General Meeting for members of the Eastern Front Theatre Society will take place on Monday, September 21st 2026 at 6:30pm via Zoom.

Spend an hour (or two!) with us to hear reports from Kat and Elsa about what we've been up to this past season.

Maybe you'll be inspired to join the Board! Our Board of Directors is full of passionate folks who help guide and assist EFT's goals and events -- mostly, they're people who want to support a local company that supports local artists! ⁠

We have four board meetings a year, and work sessions in between to brainstorm and divvy up tasks relating to fundraising, grant writing, and strategic planning. ⁠

"Could I help write policies and procedures," you ask?? WHY, YES!! What could be more fun?? Board Members also help with Front of House at our live events, and on occasion are forced to "goose" in one of our Dartmouth Geese costumes! 🪿⁠

Really, our Board Members help out in any way they can, and we love them for it! 💕⁠
