Shakespeare Welcomes New Communications Associate09:05AM / Thursday, December 15, 2011
LENOX, Mass. — Greg Hughes has joined the communications team at Shakespeare & Company as associate director of communications.
He replaces Allissa Wickham, former communications associate, who is pursuing other endeavors in the greater Boston area.
Hughes has a long history with the company, having worked as a house manager for several summers while attending college. He holds a bachelor of fine arts in dramatic writing from the State University of New York at Purchase, where he was the recipient of the Chairman's Award for academic excellence.
He will be working alongside Director of Communications Elizabeth Aspenlieder on all matters of publicity and communications as well as Director of Marketing Enrico Spada and Director of Sales David Joseph.
"Greg first came to us several years ago as one of our ace house managers, working primarily during our busy summer months," said Aspenlieder. “His time with us proved invaluable as he gracefully welcomed, hosted and took care of countless thousands of patrons and their needs – without breaking so much as a sweat! We actually took a tally and can safely say Greg gave upward of 800 curtain speeches during his time here. Needless to say, his communications and customer service skills are peerless. At a time when we're gearing up for one of the most expansive and exciting seasons to date, it is quite a relief and a boon to have someone of his vision, energy and expertise on our staff."
Hughes has been at Shout Television in London, where he researched and wrote scripts for "Planet Golf," a destination golf show that airs on the Travel Channel in the U.K. and Asia-Pacific markets. He also covered the world of golf for Shout and spearheaded the media-based website "Click on Golf," which aims to unite businesses and consumers with product and instructional-based video content. While in London, Hughes co-directed the short film "Crossharbour," which recently premiered at the Albuquerque Film Festival and was among those short listed in the San Diego Short Film Festival’s Best of the Festival.
He can be reached at ghughes@shakespeare.org and 413-637-1199, Ext. 145.
