Thespian Board
Thespian Board
The elected Thespian Board -- the Officers & Representatives -- meets regularly and organizes events and activities for Brookfield Drama.
All year long, the Thespian Board keeps track of the troupe's work, assembling a portfolio of photos, programs, social media screenshots, and other evidence of troupe participation in productions, community service, and other activities.
They work together with Ms. Rodgers to make decisions regarding Brookfield Drama.
