For instance. in past productions we have borrowed set and costume pieces from other community theaters in Wenatchee and Leavenworth, and in turn have rented our propslsets/costumes out to other theaters. We work with and continue to develop our relationship with CWU's Music. Theater and Film departments, and the Ellensburg School District, many faculiy members have donated their time and efforts behind the scenes and performed in our shows. Laughing Horse Arts Foundation has several sub-organizations. in Ellensburg and Cle Elum, and we cross-promote activities and events, and even collaborate for resources if needed for a production. All of our aciors/performers volunieer their time to rehearse and perform the shows, as well as backstage crew, set builders, costumers. and hair/makeup helpers who volunteer their time to make sure the show looks and runs smoothly. One of the results with the pandemic is that we had to find alternative theatrical venues in our comnrunity. The two main theatres available in Ellensburg are located in public buildings, which were closed for the majority of the last year and a half. One of our proud successes is that we created new partnerships with local businesses and local organizations including the Clymer Museum and Foundation, and Hotel Windrow to utilize non{raditional spaces and ballrooms for theatrical performances. We look forward to continuing these partnerships" 2500 characler liilit
