Involvement

ELT is a vibrant and busy theatre group offering a variety of productions and constant activity throughout the year. As a volunteer-operated community-based organisation, ELT is dependent upon members to run the show. The operation and functioning of the association – and our ability to maintain our low membership and ticket prices – requires that members do pitch in. Your assistance on Front of House and at Working Bees is expected.
