NCTC Staff

The NCTC Staff are often traveling and in the field. The best way to contact a staff member is via email.

Angie Hays, Executive Director

Angie Hays (she/her) is passionate about inspiring a love of theatre in students, hopeful they will grow up to be arts patrons and advocates, regardless of the career path they choose. Her advocacy work brings critical support to professional and community theatres and helps elected officials understand the important role the arts play in our communities. One of Angie’s favorite NCTC programs is Theatre Admin Intensive, where she introduces college students and emerging leaders to the arts management field. She also finds great joy in the coaching work she does with nonprofit theatre boards, helping dedicated volunteers better serve the organizations they love. Angie has been the leader of NCTC since 2007. In this time, she has also served as an adjunct professor of Arts Administration at Greensboro College and Elon University, and as a guest lecturer at several colleges including UNC Greensboro, UNC School of the Arts, Wake Forest University, Salem College, and Appalachian State University. She currently serves on the Arts Advisory Councils for Greensboro College and Hocking College and is a past board member of ArtsNC. She has been a grant panelist for the North Carolina Arts Council, Arts Greensboro and the Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. She regularly acts as a consultant with NC theatre companies and colleges, primarily focusing on board training, strategic planning, leadership transitions, and recruitment strategies. Prior to her career at NCTC, Angie worked as the Audience Development and Communications Manager at Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey, Fundraising Campaign Coordinator for the Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, Associate General Manager for the UNCSA Summer Performance Festival, and Director of the Children’s and Promotional Divisions at the Docherty Agency in Pittsburgh. Angie earned a BA in Theatre from Kent State University and a MFA in Performing Arts Management from the UNC School of the Arts (where she was presented with an Alumni Achievement Award in 2010). In her free time, Angie enjoys points travel, being the unofficial Disney trip planner for her friends, and spoiling her cats.
