Staff & Board of Directors
Elaine Lipton, Executive Director
Originally from New York’s Hudson Valley, Elaine earned a Bachelor’s of Arts in Theatrical Production from Brandeis University. Following her undergraduate coursework, she received a prestigious Watson Fellowship to study traditional theater arts in Japan. She has also done graduate work in Museum Studies with a focus in costume and textile conservation. In her multifaceted career she has worked as a costume designer, follow-spot operator, textiles artist, curator, teacher, administrator, and grant-writer. She has lived in New York City, Japan, Europe and – since 1998 – Cape Cod. Besides the Festival, her husband Terry and her children Elliot and Jemma make sure that her life is always filled with music.
