Joe White

Founder and Manager- Ashland Community Theater

 

Joe developed a real passion for theater while in college. His many years in the corporate sector and volunteering in his community drew him away from that passion for a time. But when that love for theater and film resurfaced, those years of experience as a high-level project manager found a new purpose and venue: Ashland Community Theater (ACT).

 

Initially, Joe took to writing scripts and honing his acting and directing skills.

His desire to be involved in community theater had been a dream spanning four decades. But then he took the plunge and created ACT, with the intent of collaborating with others who have a similar passion and desire to create good story telling. His vision for ACT differs from the many other community theaters in Central Massachusetts. His goal is to encourage and produce new material, search out new local talent, and provide a venue where new directors can cut their teeth. Joe is dedicated to the process of all aspects of the arts and is excited to bring ACT (live theater and films) to the Boston area.

 

He has partnered with Barbara Chisholm and WACA -TV to create a TV series “Behind the Curtain”.  BTC affords opportunities for artists to create original material and share the behind-the-scenes stories of their art.

 

Joe has also produced and directed a series of films, some of which have been honored at Film Festivals: Most recently he released “Wish You Were There” (2025) and “Murder at Rough Point” (2024) winner of best short and Best Actresses at various film festivals.
