PHILOSOPHY: At New Hampshire Theatre Project, we emphasize cooperation and ensemble performance rather than the "star system," and acting technique rather than elaborate costumes or scenery. We believe that theatre and drama are powerful ways of promoting self-confidence, critical thinking, creativity, empathy, and communication skills--in other words, skills that help us become happier and more productive people.
