Staff and volunteers:
Lisa
Lincoln, who has over 25 years of directing and voice experience,
has been directing ECT since 1999, in addition to directing adults
and teaching drama in area schools. She is on the faculty at Santa Fe Preparatory School, teaching musical theater, and coaching the speech and debate team. Lincoln also offers private
voice lessons for those who wish to develop their vocal talents.
Lincoln has a gift for inspiring young people to work hard and
bring out talents they might not have known they had. Many parent volunteers
contribute their talents to each production, some of whom have
done so for years, in areas such as public relations, costume
design and construction, rehearsal assistance, house management,
make up, and backstage as runners, stage hands, etc.
