Our Story
Narberth Poetry Theater is run by husband-and-wife team Bobby and Nicki Hoffman. The theater began as Children's Poetry Theater, founded by their dear friend Jacque Healy, who had a dream of helping children discover the joy of poetry through play, art, and performance. What began in Jacque's home eventually grew into the theater's current space in downtown Narberth.
When Jacque and her family relocated, she passed the torch to Bobby and Nicki, who now carry her vision forward. Today, Narberth Poetry Theater continues that same spirit while expanding its programs to welcome people of all ages.
