Gossip: Creating a place for the arts to collaborate
Jeanné McCartin
Some major moves have taken place at the New Hampshire Theatre Project the past few weeks.
The big news is the departure of Artistic Director Catherine Stewart. A lot of people automatically assumed Catherine was going to be my successor when she took the artistic director s job. But from the start it was our understanding, clear to us but not to the outside, she came on to do a number of things to prepare for succession, Founding Executive Director Genevieve Aichele says. Stewart did that in spades.
Stewart helped create a strategic plan, reorganized the main stage season ( which was going great guns til COVID ), restructured the company s artists program, created a company handbook, rebranded NHTP and was instrumental in keeping it going during the pandemic.
