Ambassadors Council

The National New Play Network’s Ambassadors Council supports our programming in the 24 regions of the country where our member theaters produce, and serves as an informal group of advisors to the Network’s national office and Executive Committee.  The Council is comprised of artists, patrons, and other individuals who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to the nurturing and continued life of new plays.  If you’re interested in joining NNPN’s Ambassador’s Council, please email jason@nnpn.org.
