Spectacular Follies Board of Directors

About the Spectacular Follies Board

The Spectacular Follies is guided by a dedicated Board of Directors committed to advancing our mission, supporting artistic excellence, and ensuring the long-term success of the organization. The Board is made up of officers and board members, collectively responsible for governance, strategic direction, and oversight.

In addition to the Board of Directors, the Spectacular Follies benefits from the experience and expertise of Advisors and Auxiliary Board Members, who provide valuable support and insight.

Advisors include former board members who continue to represent the Spectacular Follies in the community, as well as individuals appointed by the Board to offer guidance and assistance as needed.

Auxiliary Board Members are appointed by invitation and may include cast members or individuals from outside the organization who contribute specialized skills or services.

Together, the Board, Advisors, and Auxiliary members play a vital role in supporting the Spectacular Follies and ensuring its continued growth and success.
