Our Founding Board

The Liminal Theatre Collective is guided by a visionary group of leaders who bring together expertise in the arts, education, strategy, and community building. As our Founding Board of Directors, they play a vital role in stewarding TLTC’s mission: cultivating new works that center artists of color, nurturing the next generation of diverse theatre artists, and reimagining the stage as a space for transformation.

Our Board members serve not only as advisors and advocates but also as champions of TLTC’s values of Cultivate, Outreach, Reclaim, and Engage.
