Ed is a critical part of our Board of Directors. Learn about his dual focus as a public school teacher in Derby here:

"In 2007, Belsan’s daughter encouraged him to audition for a role in Shakespeare in the Park. Since then, Belsan has been involved with the production every year. He has also been involved with The Guild Hall Players from St. James Episcopal Church in Wichita, and the Wichita Company Theatre. As an ELA teacher, he found a way to co-mingle his love of theatre with his passion for teaching. "
