ABO Board

Our board members are some of our more vocal and active supporters! You’ve probably met them at our performances, where they’re often found working at the ticket table. We’re always looking for interested prospective board members, so email us if you have an interest. The board meets approximately once every two months, and their primary purpose is to support ABO, help us to grow, and help us to identify and maintain funding.
