Dear NH Theatre Community, Supporters and Friends,

I am pleased to announce beginning on Wednesday July 3rd, 2013 that I will be continuing the mission of the New Hampshire Theatre Awards by leading the organization as our interim President.  I look forward to continuing my work alongside our Board of Directors and Operations Committee.  I would like to sincerely thank Mark DeLancey for the hard work and dedication that he provided to our organization during his time as president.

As many of you may remember, I was deeply involved in the event during its formative years.

Together, with Rick Broussard and many of you, we solidified the reason for our existence; the performing arts community in New Hampshire must grow, and we simply exist to support your efforts to that end. Regardless of who has been driving the Awards, our Operations Committee and newly formed Board of Directors have always focused on that mission and will continue to do so.  For me, nothing could be as exciting than to return to a more active role in preparation for our upcoming awards show.

Our community is much bigger and more inclusive than when we started.  We’ve watched our friends and family make theatre careers in and outside of New Hampshire.  At the last event, I was floored by how much young talent we had onstage.  The day will come when they are standing onstage, possibly as winners of a Best Actor or Actress award, maybe as the President of the Board of Directors, or even as a Lifetime Achievement recipient. The future of the NHTA has never been brighter.

I look forward to seeing what we do next.

Matty Gregg
Interim President - NH Theatre Awards Board of Directors
