September is the Month of Teamwork, and we’re proud to celebrate Peyton Churchwell as our Artist of the Month!

As a Resident Director, Peyton knows that great theatre is never created by one person alone. From the rehearsal room to the stage, he brings a collaborative spirit and a willingness to work alongside students, fellow artists, and production teams to bring each story to life.

Peyton understands the value of listening, communicating, and supporting the people around him. His ability to bring people together and work toward a shared vision is a wonderful example of what teamwork looks like at NTPA!

Thank you, Peyton, for being a teammate our community can count on and for reminding us that when we work together, we can create something greater than any one person could create alone. ❤️

We’re proud to celebrate Danielle Shermer as our August Artist of the Month!💚

August’s focus character is Responsibility, and Danielle embodies this value through the dedication, organization, and care she brings to her work every day. As NTPA’s Senior Marketing Director, she helps keep our many productions, programs, events, and initiatives moving forward, making sure our audiences and community know what’s happening across NTPA.

With so many moving pieces across our organization, Danielle consistently takes ownership, meets the moment, and makes sure the details are handled. Her work behind the scenes plays an important role in connecting our students, families, artists, and audiences with all that NTPA has to offer.
