Boards in the Spotlight is the definitive reference for any community theatre Board of Directors. Written by Twink Lynch, it is AACT’s Essential guide to strong, effective leadership for community theatre boards.

AACT has released an updated edition of this essential guide to strong, effective leadership for community theatre boards

Behind every successful community theatre is a board that leads with passion, purpose, and vision. Boards in the Spotlight was created to help those individuals thrive in their roles – whether they’re brand new to board service or seasoned leaders seeking new ideas.

Originally developed by Twink Lynch, Ph.D., (who was the administrative director at Topeka Civic Theatre, and the executive director of an earlier iteration of this organization!) and newly revised in partnership with AACT, this book offers straightforward guidance on the challenges and opportunities unique to community theatre governance. Inside, readers will find tools for strategic planning, fundraising, community engagement, and more – plus practical templates and real-world examples from theatres nationwide.

Whether your theatre is run entirely by volunteers or has professional staff, Boards in the Spotlight helps boards build a shared vision, strengthen organizational foundations, and support the creative work that connects people through live theatre.
