Hello Exeter Theater Company supporters and volunteers!

We wanted to let you know about an exciting development happening on the Exeter cultural scene. An important regional theater company is looking to move its acclaimed productions and educational programs to Exeter, with the hopes of making the Exeter Town Hall its new home. We are very excited by this possibility and, with the assistance of Todd Deluca at Exeter Chamber of Commerce, and Darren Winham, the Exeter Economic Development Director, have begun discussions with this organization on how we might best assist them in their efforts.

As you know, our mission has always been to encourage and support Exeter’s artistic and cultural life, and we’re excited once again to have the opportunity to take up that charge.

Exeter’s Board of Selectmen will discuss this topic Monday, September 12 at the Exeter Town Offices (10 Front Street). We ask that you to join us at that meeting as a sign of community support for increased cultural offerings at Town Hall.

We will keep you posted as things develop further. In the meantime, feel free to contact us with any questions at [email protected]. Thanks again for all of your support!

Building's still dark.
