The New Hampshire Theatre Awards Committee seeks to help knit together the theatre community of the state, working with both community and professional groups, facillitating collaboration, increasing awareness and encouraging excellence in their ranks. The Awards Night is not only a chance to acknowledge the best local theatre of the year, it's also a chance for the entire community to come together, get acquainted and celebrate the power and joy of stagecraft. We are proud to be affiliated with other organizations with similar goals and we encourage anyone interested in getting involved or learning more about the local theatre community to visit their sites as well:
