New Hampshire Theatre Project provides a welcoming environment for youth, artists, and community members to experience self-discovery and growth through the art and process of theatre. We envision a community of individuals who are self-reflective, articulate, passionate, and compassionate; a community where differences are honored, history and literature are explored as resources for problem-solving, and difficult issues are negotiated with mutual respect and thoughtful dialogue. Now in its 26th season, NHTP is based at Portsmouth's West End Studio Theatre, presenting a MainStage performance season November to May, along with year-round workshops and theatre camps for all ages. Outreach includes community collaborations, touring productions, educational residencies for schools and social service organizations, professional development workshops and corporate training.
