TL board holds 2025 planning retreat

October 10, 2025

The TL Board of Directors, along with some members of the staff, spent a recent Saturday engaging in a productive annual planning and strategy session.


The board holds these annual planning sessions outside of regular monthly meetings to freely discuss topics and ideas. The day also allows the board to deep dive into major topics and learn more about being effective stewards of the organization, as well as getting to know each other better.


In addition to evaluating recent strategies and last season’s goals, the session focused on envisioning future impact of TL and what steps will be needed to achieve those goals.


We truly appreciate the dedication and expertise of our board members as we move the theatre into the future. Thanks also to Brandon Woods at Alvamar for providing a space away from our regular conference room to refresh our brains.
