Exciting Announcement!
The Barnstormers Board of Directors is thrilled to announce the appointment of
Jordan Ahnquist as Artistic Director of The Barnstormers Theatre heading into our 2025 Season.
Jordan fell in love with The Barnstormers Theatre in 2012, playing Huck Finn in Big River, and has been a part of the community ever since. In addition to working as a director and actor over the past thirteen years, he recently created the role of Development Associate in 2023, where he worked closely with the board and artistic staff, finding new grant opportunities, enhancing patron engagement, and contributing to the theatre's growth.
Jordan holds a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from Muhlenberg College, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa, and has forged a 25-year career working as a director, actor, and educator across the country. He has worked with SpeakEasy Stage, Greater Boston Stage Company, Lyric Stage, The Gamm, The Charles Playhouse, The Ivoryton Playhouse, The Kennedy Center, Milwaukee Repertory Theatre, Utah Shakespeare Festival, Off-Broadway in New York City, and more.
The Board is thrilled to be able to promote from within. Jordan's professional experience and expertise will honor the theatre's rich legacy, while embracing opportunities to manage its long-term growth and cultural impact within the community.
Our milestone 95th Season will be announced soon, so stay tuned.
Happy Holidays, and we'll see you in 2025!

The Barnstormers Theatre Chair
The Barnstormers, located in the scenic village of Tamworth, NH, is one of the longest-running professional summer theatres in the country.
The company was founded in 1931 by Francis Cleveland, the youngest son of President Grover Cleveland, Francis’s wife Alice and their friend Ed Goodnow – all of whom were involved with theatre on Broadway. Over eighty years later, their legacy continues.
Today, The Barnstormers is one of three Equity theatres in New Hampshire and provides the region with brilliant summer theatre.
Like most theatres nationwide, ticket sales cover only about half of income needs, so every gift to The Barnstormers is greatly appreciated.
