We are thrilled to announce that Theatre Adventure has two new Members of the Board.
Wendy Pauloo
Wendy spent most of her childhood as a member of a traveling troupe of young actors in South Orange NJ. Steeped in the teachings of Viola Spolin, a proponent of Creative Drama, she brought those passions to Northern NH and taught Creative Drama to children for over 30 years. Upon moving to Easthampton Ma, she became the Assistant Production Manager at Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter School, where the youngest of her 4 children was a student actor.
While still in NH she earned a BS in Human Services and worked with children and families in distress, formed a foster care program for high-risk children, and was a Support Services Coordinator and Domestic Violence Advocate at a Domestic Violence shelter for women and children.
Moving to Guilford Vermont she spent the next 8 years caring for her husband, Dan, who was suffering from Lewy Body Dementia. During that time she met Melody Squires and through that friendship heard about Theatre Adventure.
She joined the Board of Directors towards the end of 2022 after seeing a few of the productions and being moved and amazed at the extraordinary skill. love, and passion of the actors and teachers. She is honored to be part of this life-changing theatre.

Ora has consulted with organizations that work for social change for over 25 years. She’s a skillful facilitator, trainer and guide with a creative, empathetic approach, engaging groups to increase their alignment, optimism, and sense of direction. She co-founded Just Works Consulting in 2000.

Ora is married to Jonathan Rosenthal. They live near Boston, Massachusetts (USA) and are the parents of two amazing adult daughters and the caretakers of one feisty cat. She is the author of several white papers and a forthcoming book on transformational organizational consulting.
