Blog - Board Announcements

Over the last few weeks, NET has heard countless stories from our members of show cancellations, project interruptions, and financial uncertainty. The spread of COVID-19 and the need for physical distancing has made our collective work -- of bringing together communities through ensemble performance and practice -- extremely difficult. In this unsettling time, our social connections and the interwoven support and camaraderie provided by networks such as NET become even more critical.

We are delighted to welcome these esteemed ensemble practitioners to the NET Board:

• Shoshana Bass, Co-Artistic Director, Sandglass Theater (Putney, VT);
• Jonathan Clark, Managing Director, The Carpetbag Theatre, Inc. (Knoxville,TN);
• Carrie J. Cole, Associate Professor, Director of Production, Indiana University of Pennsylvania/Theater by the Grove (Indiana, PA);
• CarlosAlexis Cruz,  Associate Professor of Physical Theatre, UNC Charlotte; Producing  Artistic Director, Nouveau Sud project and Pelú Theatre (Charlotte, NC);
• Moses Goods,  Actor/Playwright; Artistic Director, ʻInamona Theatre Company (Honolulu, HI);
• Dipankar Mukherjee, Artistic Director, Pangea World Theater (Minneapolis, MN).

In solidarity with our re:ROUTES host communities in Arizona, NET will donate 5% of registration fees to local nonprofit organizations Trans Queer Pueblo (Phoenix) and the Colibrí Center for Human Rights (Tucson) for their ongoing work in support of migrants.
