Meet the Board

The Nashoba Players Board is made up of volunteer board members who meet monthly to discuss pressing issues such as upcoming productions & events, membership recruitment, and organization finances.

Ken Golner, Artistic Director

Getting his first taste of theater in high school, it wasn't until 1990 that it became a lifelong passion for him after playing Ed Carmichael in "You Can't Take It With You" with New Hampshire's Community Players of Concord. Since then, he has thoroughly enjoyed being onstage in dozens of productions over the last 30+ years. Having assisted a number of directors on various productions over the years, Ken has come to truly understand what it takes to put together a fantastic show. With that knowledge base amassed over time, along with organizational skills and vision, he's looking forward to creating theater from the other side of the stage for the Nashoba Players.

Amy Newberg

Amy is a retired International Project Manager, having worked and consulted in various industries from Steelmaking to Pharmaceuticals. In between all her travels, she has spent 44 years involved with a number of community theatres as a director, actor, producer, costumer, set designer, prop creator, dramaturg, and board member. Amy moved to New England in 1985 and her first theater production after moving here was in Nashoba Players' (known at the time as GLT, Groton-Littleton Theater) Exit the Body, as the famed writer Crane Hammond. She received an EMACT award for her three roles in GLT's production of Arthur Millers Depression-era anthology An American Clock. Recently she had the leading role in NP's production of A Country House.

Chuck Holleman

By day Chuck does any number of mundane things, such as selling industrial chemicals, trying to sell his first historical novel to a publishing industry that hasn't yet recognized his talents, and getting recalcitrant teenagers off to high school in the morning.... By night, he is an avid theater buff, working over the past few years with a number of community theater groups.

He has had many memorable roles including Benjamin Franklin in "1776" (Concord Players - Which played in Boston's Faneuil Hall), Inspector Levine in "Catch me if You Can" (Theatre 111), Father Demitri in "Zorba!" (New Players Theater Guild), and "Big" Tony Nunzio in "Tony and Tina's Wedding " for Nashoba Players.

As an added feather in his cap, Chuck was especially pleased to have been recognized by EMACT for his role as the Professor in the Concord Players production of "South Pacific."

"Working with Nashoba Players has been great fun! Where else but in community theater can you get to work so quickly and intensely with a group of dedicated and creative people who love what they are doing? You make friends that you know you will always have, and you will always look forward to the opening of another show'."
