Nominees from the floor are acceptable at the Annual Meeting.

Proxy – If you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting and would still like to participate, the Board of Directors requests your Proxy by completing and returning the attached Proxy form to the Theatre in the enclosed Membership Renewal envelope (or separately, if you so select).

Board of Director Candidates – FWP has always strived to balance our Board of Directors between “actors” and people with business backgrounds.  We are always seeking more Board Members with business backgrounds or other talents that could be of benefit to the Theatre

Board members spend approximately 3 hours a month in the board meeting,  Additional requirement is for committee chairmanship or officer position.  After that whatever time they elect to take on some of the management tasks necessary to run the theatre.  In addition each board member is responsible for being House Manager for one assigned performance for each play and make the pre-show curtain speech.  It is desirable for board members to attend Premiers and all special functions of the theatre.
