Mary Higgins

Telluride Theatre is thrilled to announce the creation of a new full-time position and the hiring of Mary Higgins as its Development and Operations Manager.

Higgins is joining the company after five years of performing as an actor. Audiences may recognize her from several Shakespeare in the Park productions.

In this new position, Higgins will manage Telluride Theatre’s fundraising and grant-writing efforts, also donor/membership relations.

“The addition of Mary has really created such a well-rounded team for Telluride Theatre,” said Producing Director Melissa Trn. “Mary’s ongoing connection to TT as a performer and collaborator has made her such an asset to our organization in terms of connecting with patrons and donors alike. We are so excited for this fierce addition to the woman-driven leadership at the company.”

Higgins’ previous non-profit theatrical work includes Creative Strategies for Change in Denver; Pillsbury House Theatre in Minneapolis; BETC Colorado in Boulder; and local non-profits including the Telluride Academy and the Telluride Historical Museum.

“While I still look forward to performing, I am truly excited to learn a different type of role, one whose sole focus is to support the Telluride art scene,” Higgins said. “We have so many incredibly talented artists in the region, from dancers to directors, technical artists and teaching artists. I want to continue to make sure there is room and opportunity for them to grow in a way that matches our burgeoning cultural economy.” 

Mary Higgins attended Trinity College in Dublin Ireland, where she received a Masters of Philosophy, with focuses in Theatrical Theory and Performance.
