About ETC - Mission Statement

The Encinitas Theatre Consortium was founded in 2009 to bring performance art to local audiences. Thus far we have launched the Readers Theatre and the Encinitas Silent Film Festival. This year we hope to launch a Writer’s Forum where more established writers can get their works read by their peers.

She has served on the board of four theatres and was co founder of Sixth@Penn with Dale Morris.

Two of her films were produced by the American Film Institute.
