2024-25 Annual Appeal
Support Advice To The Players to ensure another 25 years of Arts Programs
Dear Friends,
As ATTP’s 25th anniversary year comes to a close, we are grateful for our wonderful community. You’ve cheered on our young performers at the summer camps performance, attended our mainstage shows and staged readings, and celebrated with us at our summer end 25th Anniversary Gala. Thank you for your donations during our springtime Bard’s Birthday campaign, as well as other contributions throughout the year. This would not have been possible without your support.
Today, we ask for your continued generosity as we aspire to bring Shakespeare productions and education to the Lakes and Mountains Regions of New Hampshire for another wonderful 25 years.
We plan to follow our 25th anniversary season in glorious fashion, kicking off our 2025 summer season with the ever-raucous The Merry Wives of Windsor in August. The Queen Mab teen production group is flourishing, with its youth leadership currently in the selection process for its summer show. We are excited about our youth programming and our Shakesperience camps continue to prove, year after year, how meaningful an ATTP summer can be to a young person’s life.
The coming season will also see a revitalization of our educational outreach, with a fresh approach to our school workshops, and an educational tour of Romeo and Juliet featuring newly developed tools for student engagement. These programs provide not only an introduction to and education in Shakespeare, but also an exploration of collaboration, communication, and creative thinking for the students of our community.
Our 2025 season marks a major transition in our company's leadership. As we welcome our new Executive Director Lucy Randall-Tapply to the fore, we thank Jessie Chapman, our leader since 2016 and company member since 2007, for her care, creativity, and expertise.
As you know, our organization thrives on more than just ticket revenue, and we deeply appreciate your continued financial support, attendance at events, and active participation. We sincerely hope you will remain a vital partner in our endeavors as a donor, patron, and valued community member.
With Warmth and Gratitude,
Martha Nichols
