performances by current and former Staff members, Interns, and
students, a multi-media presentation of the history of CTE, and
testimonials by friends of CTE.
Hors d’oeurves and beverages will be served and there will be a

the workshops.

Seeking New Board Members! |
E-mail and Website Changes! |
If you are interested in joining the CTE Board
for 2006 – 2007 please contact CTE at
creativetheatre@comcast.net or see a
Board member at one of the shows.
New CTE
president Rick Peters and the rest of
all-volunteer Board perform many administrative
tasks each year which helps keeps the tuition
cost down. Tasks include fund raising, playbill
and poster design, bookkeeping, registration,
legal research, communication, website
maintenance, and many other things that just
need to get done. We are especially looking for
someone with accounting or bookkeeping skills
this next season. |
In an effort to serve our CTE family
and friends better we will be
working to change our website host
and e-mail service at the conclusion
of the season.
The website address
will remain
www.creativetheatre.org.
However, we will have more e-mail
addresses available so you can write
directly to the person you need to
contact.
Please watch the website
for the new e-mail addresses and
information regarding next season’s
registration.
