Next Act Theatre is excited to share two updates on our administrative team:

Next Act Artistic Associate Elyse Edelman has been promoted to the newly-created, full-time position of Associate Artistic Director. This promotion was made possible thanks to the support of an anonymous donor whose gift has facilitated the creation of the full-time position. In Elyse’s first year with Next Act, she appeared in the company’s Wisconsin-Premiere production of SWING STATE by Rebecca Gilman and directed a staged reading of TRAYF by Lindsay Joelle. In the 2026-27 season, she will lead the 2026 Next Actors summer theatre education program, direct a full production of TRAYF and appear in IN THE NEXT ROOM or the vibrator play by Sarah Ruhl.

Additionally, Gabriela Flores has been hired as Patron Services Manager for both Next Act Theatre and Renaissance Theatreworks to succeed Wyatt Meyer, who departed Next Act and Renaissance earlier this year to pursue a graduate degree. As Patron Services Manager, she will oversee front-of-house operations, including house management and ticket office operations, for Next Act Theatre, Renaissance Theaterworks and independent companies who rent the theatre space.

“We are delighted to welcome Gabriela to our team,” said Next Act Managing Director Libby Amato. “Her experience in patron services and enthusiasm for the arts make her a perfect fit for this position, and we look forward to the new perspectives and ideas she will bring to both companies.”

The Wolves by Sarah Delappe was amazing and I am so grateful to be apart of this show as #46. Even though my soccer days are over, at least I can always say I know how to juggle and do a rainbow 🌈☺️⚽️🐺🗺️
And a special thanks to everyone who came and watched my first ever show I was apart of being at Marietta College 💐💕
