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: "Tommy & Michael" (2022), Nominated for best short film and best Actor (Larry Loring); "Nearly News" (2018); "The Victorian House Catering Company"(2019) and the award winning short film "Halloween Elevator" (2019). In addition, Joe produced and directed a couple of mini-series: the award-winning comedy miniseries "Therapy Sessions" (2016) and "The Interns" (2015).
Joe and WACA have a new short films premiering in October 2023: "Party Time", The Last Patient", "Your Kiss is on My List", "Luke Meets Charlene at a Very Nice Bar", "It's Your Move", " The Last Words of Lord Carrington" and "Rat Trap". These films have received accolades from the Film Festivals to which they have been submitted.
