About

We are seeking diverse representation. Currently, our board lacks diversity in many ways. The racial breakdown of the board is predominately white with most members being parents of children that have grown up or are currently engaging with our educational programming. Additionally, we need more members that are passionate about theatre, but who come from different lines of business. We would love to engage more local business owners. Finally, we would love to engage more members passionate about supporting our non-profit through volunteering and engagement.

Give or get $500 per member. In-kind donations are welcome when they fill a need (for example some board members have donated props, archival videos, etc.)
Our board meets monthly for an hour long meeting that can be attended in-person or remotely. We prefer if members come in person, but we understand this is not always possible. Additionally, we ask that Board members come to see our mainstage season (2-3 shows per year).
Currently, our only committee is our Development/ Fundraising committee, but part of our recruitment efforts include recruiting members that want to take the initiative and form committees for other areas of support for our company.
We are currently in the process of searching for new Board members and we accept nominations all year. However, we place emphasis on recruitment from December-February.

Mission

The mission of Theatre South Playhouse is to nurture, challenge, and empower our artists and audience in order to inspire and educate our Southwest Orlando community. We strive to create a safe space for artists of all backgrounds to gather together with the common goal to teach the values of mutual respect for all.

Central Florida residents interested in serving on the board of directors of a local arts and culture non-profit: United Arts of Central Florida, your local arts agency, has introduced the Diverse Leadership Pipeline with information about Board leadership in nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and an opportunity for you to self-nominate on one common form that allows you to designate the organizations where you wish to be considered for Board service. United Arts will forward this information to the organizations that you designate interest in so that they are aware of your interest and can consider your application for Board Leadership. Please make sure to read the organization’s profiles so that you are clear on their unique Board service expectations for your time, talent, and treasures.
