WELCOMES

This winter, we have been fortunate to have alumni Josh Goldberg as our intern-in-residence.  Josh is a Freshman at Bennington College, studying general theatre, writing, and literature. Every winter for seven weeks Bennington students are required to go out into the world and complete an internship.  Josh says: “I jumped at the chance to come home for my first internship, and return to New Hampshire Theatre Project in a capacity I hadn’t explored in my 5 years as part of the Youth Repertory Program: admin. I’ve had the opportunity to write contracts and press releases, explore fundraising and marketing, work front of house for The Odd Couple, and assist Genevieve as project coordinator for NHTP’s 2nd Annual Storytelling Festival. It has been amazing to see a whole side of theatre I had never been exposed to, and it’s been wonderful to give back to the people and community who have given me so much.”

NHTP is pleased to welcome Janice Hastings as our new Marketing Director.  Janice first worked with New Hampshire Theatre Project in 1989 coordinating an artist residency program for ‘at-risk’ teens and since then has remained an advocate for the arts and the power it has to transform lives, enhance learning and social development, and strengthen community.  Janice is a 2013 graduate of Leadership Seacoast and the recipient of numerous awards including, as Executive Director of VSA arts of NH, the 2003 Governors Arts Award for Distinguished Arts Leadership for her work promoting an inclusive arts community.

Thanks to a grant from the NH Charitable Foundation, we have been privileged to work with Ann Hopkins in preparation for mounting a capital campaign to purchase WEST. Ann began her career in the nonprofit sector at Cambridge College and went on to be the first Development Director of Odyssey House, where she established a successful development program. Assisting dozens of organizations over her career, Ann continues to draw upon the lessons she learned as a higher education administrator and development director. She also led a major capital campaign as president of the board for Seacoast Family Promise.
