For instance. in past productions we have borrowed set and costume pieces frorn other community theaters in Wenatchee and Leavenworth, and jn turn have rented our props/sets/costumes out io other theaters. We work with and continue to develop our relatronship with CWU's Music, Theater and Film departments, and the Ellensburg School District: many faculty members have donated their trtne and efforts behind the scenes and performed in our shows. Laughing Horse Ads 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 actors/performers volunteer their time to rehearse and perform lhe shows. as well as backstage crew. set builders, cosiumers. 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 theairical 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 ihe Clymer Museum and Foundation. and Hotel Windrow to utilize non-traditional spaces and ballrooms for theatrical performances. We look forurard to continuing these partnerships. 25{.l0 rharacter linlil
