About our Team
Heather Capece has been directing plays on Martha’s Vineyard since 2000. She enjoys incorporating visuals through shadow puppetry and puppeteering. With a focus on sustainability, she sews costumes by sourcing items from the Dumptic, thrift stores, and upcycling, and hand sewing with added hand stitching. In the shows, she loves to integrate dance and music to bring the show and characters to life. Heather actively involves her students in the creative process, teaching them about all aspects of producing a performance for an audience.
Our mission is to offer meaningful theatrical experiences that resonate with young adults and adults alike. Through performances, workshops, and readings, we aim to inspire audiences, foster artistic creativity, and cultivate a love of storytelling. We provide a safe and supportive space for young actors and crew to grow in their craft, including the life-changing opportunity to perform at the Fringe Festival in Scotland. By working collaboratively with local artists and guest artists from beyond our island, we strengthen our cultural community and expand creative connections.
