Pull-Tight is unique among area community theatres in having a Voting Membership that participates in electing our Board of Directors. The Board provides leadership and steers the direction of the theatre, from selecting the season of shows to all financial and policy decisions. Each season, Voting Members also elect a Player of the Year and a new member of Pull-Tight’s Hall of Fame.
This process is so important to us that language about voting membership constitutes Article I of the Bylaws for Pull-Tight Players, Inc. as shown below.
Determining voting rights for the current year based on show involvement can be a bit tricky; eligibility is counted from the last show of the past season through the second-to-last show of the current season. If you have questions about your eligibility, contact the Artist Membership Secretary.
