Emily Borst, Co-Vice President

They are an actor, playwright, and director, and you might have seen them improvising or performing as a princess before too. Their plays have been a part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival and The Know Theatre’s Serials. They have also performed at NKU, Cincy Shakespeare, Kincaid Regional Theatre, Stage Right Musical Theatre, the Footlighters, and more. They are passionate about the arts and are excited to be working with LCT! 

Pamela Young, Treasurer

Pamela M. Young has been on the LCT board since Summer 2013 as treasurer. She enjoys being a part of this vibrant group. Her full time job is with The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati since 2007. Pam says there is something about seeing children attend live theatre and the amazement on their faces, totally hoping they become the next generation of theatre goers!

Kate Mock Elliot, Secretary

The recipe for a Kate Mock Elliott is to take one part Peter Pan complex, two parts Type-A control freak, mix together and simmer inside twelve years of Catholic school, let rise in a liberal arts music program, combine with an atheist guitarist, add two strong-willed daughters, fill with a burning desire to change the world for the better, and flavor generously with a wide assortment of hobbies, passions, interests, and skills. Heat over a candle burning at both ends, and watch what happens. https://www.katemockelliott.com/
