Our Mission Statement
Northshore Performing Arts Foundation (NPAF) believes in enriching cultural appreciation and engaging our local community through creative educational programs and opportunities to experience and enjoy the performing arts
BOARD MEMBERS
Leslie Foley – President
The performing arts are food for the soul. The arts can take you around the world, learning about different cultures. The performing arts are another way for our children to learn and to be able to express themselves. The performing arts can turn a town into a community where people can meet up for a night of laughter or culture that can then open up discussions. It energizes me to want to learn
Ashley Thayer – Treasurer
I’ve always had an appreciation for the performing arts. So, when the opportunity arose to become involved, I eagerly reached out. I’m excited to help support the NPAF.
Rosamaria Graziani – Board Member
I am honored to serve as a board member and my goal is to increase diversity attendance at NPAF events.
Jeanette Marquardt – Board Member
I believe it’s important for us to support the arts for our local community in order for them to enjoy the various entertainment presented in their own backyard instead of traveling outside the area.

STAFF
John Lehrack – Managing Director
I have been a professional musician and educator my entire career. It’s a lot if fun to be on the administrative end too and work with so many fantastic volunteers and performers.
Ashley Meissner – Social Media and Box Office Manager
Community theater is in many ways the pinnacle of human art. It is a place where the sum of lived experience, passion and inspiration live–and where people at once learn and enjoy more about their world, their community and their own lives. I am thrilled to be part of that dream and support local performing art.
ABOUT US
The Northshore Performing Arts Foundation (NPAF) was established by Northshore-area residents (Bothell, Kenmore, Mill Creek, and Woodinville, WA) who were committed to bringing a cultural center to their community, where they could enjoy the performing arts, engage their children in creative educational programs, and experience culturally rich performances from around the globe. Through NPAF’s partnership with the Northshore School District and the City of Bothell, we now have a beautiful state-of-the-art 600 seat theatre on the campus of Bothell High School where artists from around the world and close to home bring live performance to the Northshore community. NPAF is a federal 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
