I am so pleased to introduce myself to you - first here and then hopefully in person over the next few months. I have joined First Act Theatre Arts as the Interim Executive Director and am thrilled to be here.
I have been involved with First Act KC (formerly CYT) for over 15 years - first as a parent, then in a production support role, as Communications Director, and most recently as the Event Coordinator for this past year’s Cocktails & Cabaret. I joined the Board of Trustees in July and am committed to seeing First Act Theatre Arts grow and thrive. I’m honored to be trusted for this role, and am grateful for the foundation laid by the previous Executive Director, Cindy Beasley.
We have seen First Act KC go through a number of changes in the past few years, and we have seen First Act KC persevere through those changes. As we step into this new transition, I am confident that with the strength of this community and our talented, committed, and professional team, we can continue to build and grow our programs in a way that honors God, our students, families and each other. It’s Possible!
The Board of Trustees is committed to ensuring a smooth transition until we welcome a new permanent ED together in the new year.
In the meantime, I’m looking forward to seeing you all at our upcoming Fall shows! Our very first Premiere Series show, Bright Star takes the stage this weekend and I cannot stress enough - you do not want to miss this show! Then next week, an all-time favorite, Annie will be performed as part of our Family Series. And we’re just getting started! Spring classes are now open for registration and winter auditions are just around the corner. I can’t wait to move into this next season of First Act Theatre Arts with you all!
It’s Possible!
Ellen Breth
Interim Executive Director
