Jill Tokac is thrilled to be joining HCE as the new Artistic Producer! She has been a director / choreographer in New England for over 5 years, and cannot wait to build out this wonderful company. She is excited to step into a dream leadership role with a theatre company that produces great work! A graduate from Emerson College (Class of 2021), she has been incredibly grateful to be working in the Boston Arts Scene both as a marketing professional and an artist. She has been nominated for an EMACT-Dash Award for her directing (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), and a Broadway World award for her choreography (Sister Act). She wants to extend her deepest gratitude to HCE for believing in her, and her friends, family, and theatre colleagues for their support. 

Lizzy Pease is thrilled to be joining HCE not only as an actor, but now as the Marketing and Audience Services Manager. Lizzy is an Actor and House Manager for multiple performance venues across Boston and the Greater Boston Area. She began her journey with HCE as a performer in their 2025 touring production of Bloomsday, where she got to perform at the Irish Consular Residence, amongst other exciting locations. She is so excited to be expanding her role with HCE as they continue to grow, and to continue their mission of making accessible theatre that also celebrates and educates on Irish heritage and experience. She would like to extend her gratitude to Cathal and the HCE leadership team for bringing her on in this new role, Jill for introducing her to HCE back in early 2025, and her parents and friends for their endless support. 

More coming from Alana soon!
