Ellen Phelps, Managing Director

Ellen worked for her family’s marketing and distribution company for 30 years, Managing sales and operations for the last 10 years.  Since Ellen was 4 years old, she loved performing on stage, and continued to perform throughout high school and college.  After meeting her husband Scott at Actors Theatre of Louisville and raising their 4 children in Lake Forest, it became a dream come true to start a live professional theatre in their own backyard.  Ellen and Scott appreciate the support from all our donors and patrons.  Without you, Citadel wouldn’t have been able to thrive for the past 22 years.
