Board Testimony
"Although serving on the Fringe Festival Board is not overly time-consuming, the time spent is productive, taking advantage of the expertise of all board members."
"I am honored to serve on the Fringe Festival Board. I thoroughly enjoy theater and am happy to bring my knowledge and skills to support adventurous art."
"As much as I would like to be able to contribute to theater by being a great performer, that is not in the cards. Being a member of the Fringe Festival Board offers me the opportunity to contribute in other ways."
