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.
- Genevieve Aichele, Artistic Director
