The Essential Theatre is very proud of its reputation for presenting high quality productions of new works including a world premiere by a Georgia Playwright and wants to leverage its decade of success and harness its expertise to foster strategic growth. We are realizing synergies from partnering with Actors Express and Working Title Playwrights to better serve our mission. This is a very exciting time for Essential and we invite you to join us as we launch our 2009 festival. Together with the Atlanta volunteer organization Community Consulting Team [CCT] we have created a five-year growth plan and continue our community outreach by growing the size and diversity of our Board and seeking a stronger volunteer base. To help us further promote our mission and grow our organization in line with our strategic goals, we are currently seeking 4-6 new Board members.
