About HPAW, Inc.
The Haverhill Performing Arts Workshop is a 501(c)3 non-profit formed in July of 2025, dedicated to providing equal and equitable access to performing arts opportunities for all youth, teens, and young adults in our region.
Founded by Mr. Robert Gariepy III and co-founded by Stephanie Martens, Andre Ouellette, Madalyn Hanson, and Jaylin Rochleau, HPAW has produced a total of four musicals since its inception in 2025. Each production has increased HPAW's program participation tenfold, from just 18 active participants in August of 2025 to almost 60 actively-registered children across two seperate theatrical programs.
Through partnerships with Northern Essex Community College, The City of Haverhill, Pentucket Bank, Costello Insurance, and parents, sponsors, and donors like yourself, we can make dreams come true for so many people every single day.
HPAW prides itself in offering affordable and accessible opportunities to peoples of varying ages and backgrounds. If you are interested in helping us maintain momentum into the future, please consider making a donation on our donation page.
