New Hampshire Theatre Awards (NHTA) announces ticket sale details for its 13th Annual Awards Show, to be held at The Stockbridge Theater at Pinkerton Academy in Derry, NH on January 31, 2015 at 7PM.

NHTA Board Member, Joe Vago, returns to tread the boards as Director of this special event. Joining Vago is Joel Mercier, who, for his seventh year, will tickle the ivories and wave the baton as NHTA’s Music Director. “This year's Awards continues the emphasis on our love of theatre—and those who make the magic happen on stages throughout New Hampshire,” states Vago. “Our entire production staff is extremely excited with our fun and faster approach to this year’s Awards Night. We hope everyone will enjoy the improved format!”

In 2012, the NHTAs moved to The Stockbridge Theatre, one of the finest theatrical facilities in the state. NHTA’s audiences are immensely pleased with the venue. Gina Carballo, NHTA President, states, “I'm extremely pleased that NHTA is returning to the Stockbridge for our third year. It is a beautiful theatre! We enjoy our partnership with the Stockbridge team.”

NHTA is also proud to announce, for the fourth year in a row, that ticket prices have not increased. Says Carballo, “Due to strategic planning and diligent fundraising, we are able to keep our ticket prices at their current rate. Our Award show is about providing our membership with a night that celebrates their hard work and excellence in theatre. It's all about them! The theatre companies which participate in the Awards have accomplished a great deal in 2014. It is my deep hope that they attend Awards Night in January and walk away feeling proud to be a part of this community, as well as appreciated for all they do and have done.”

NHTA Announces Creative Team for 13th Annual Awards Show 

Joe Vago and Joel Mercier to Direct Annual Event
            Joe Vago

The New Hampshire Theatre Awards (NHTA) Board of Directors proudly announce that Joe Vago will lead the creative team as Director for the 13th Annual New Hampshire Theatre Awards Show. Vago, a former NHTA Executive Director, has also served NHTA in myriad capacities for several multi-year terms. He has been involved in New Hampshire theatre for more than 23 years—as actor, director, technical director, and producer—and has participated in more than 70 theatrical productions. Vago also served New Thalian Players (NTP) as an incorporating Board Member, and as their First Vice-President, as well as having worked on more than a dozen of their productions. Vago is also a past President of Londonderry’s Music & Drama Company, and served as Technical Director for The Actorsingers of Nashua.

Joining Vago is Joel Mercier, who returns, for his seventh year, to tickle the ivories and wave the baton as NHTA’s Music Director. Mercier is a New England-based composer, director and music director, with credits from all over the country and with nationally recognized theatres, including Palace Theatre, New London Barn Playhouse, Northern Stage (VT), Idaho Shakespeare Festival, Great Lakes Theater (OH), and Goodspeed Opera House (CT). In New York City, Mercier has worked at The Duplex, Westbeth Theatre (Off-Broadway), and Nokia Theatre Times Square (Broadway). A graduate of The Hartt School of Music, Mercier served as Artistic Associate at New London Barn Playhouse for six seasons, a Guest Artist at Dartmouth College for the past four, and is currently the Artistic Director of the newly-founded NH Theatre Factory in Southern New Hampshire.

           Joel Mercier

States NHTA Executive Director, Bryan Halperin, "We're very excited to have the show in the creative hands of Joe and Joel, who both have a lot of experience working on our Awards Shows. The NHTA team looks forward to bringing our entire theatre community together in celebration of New Hampshire's 2014 theatre season."  

Adds NHTA President, Gina Carballo, "My thought, when I look at who is at the helm, steering this ship toward our Awards Show gala, is that we have the perfect trifecta of talent in place. It's essential for me, as President, to be very clear, with anyone stepping into the creative positions for this show, about the course I want to take, and the desired end result. At the outset, Bryan, Joe, and Joel have been on board with my philosophy—that the NHTA body of membership is our primary focus always. I want our Awards Show to be a meaningful, positive and joyful experience for our members. It's not just about the awards; it's about our community.  Bryan, Joe, and Joel are each outstanding at what they do within this organization. They’re accomplished leaders who are driven and talented, each in their own right. To see them work, plan, and execute together is special, indeed. They're talented professionals who are eager to work hard in order to create something truly unique. It's inspiring to be around them individually, and even more so when they're together. As an organization, we're very lucky.”

"In Memoriam" recognition (due Jan 15th, 2014) 

Each year, there are those among us who take a final bow.  The annual NH Theatre Awards Show includes a time for remembering those theatre friends and associates who are no longer with us.

We need your help to put together the "In Memoriam" presentation for this year’s Awards Show.

If you know of any theatre friend who passed away since January 26th, 2013 we ask that you help us remember them.  Please forward this link to anyone who can help us remember past friends.

Please email submissions for "In Memoriam" by January 15th
Submitted persons need not have been residing in NH but must have spent some time working in NH-based theatre. 

To best remember those who have passed, we would need:

  • Persons Full Name
  • Affiliated Theatre Company or Companies
  • Town/State of last residence (if known)
  • Photo – higher resolution the better. A way to know this is the bigger the file size, the better the image

Send all information and photo to Memoriam@NHTheatreAwards.org

Thank you for helping us in taking time to remember our friends in theatre who left us in 2013.
