Biography:

Zach Puffenbarger joined the American Shakespeare Center in 2021 as a Development Intern and now serves as the Development and Operations Assistant. He’s a reliable, easygoing member of the team who helps with a little bit of everything, from distributing thank-you letters to setting up events and stocking materials.

With a strong interest in audio-visual technology and a love for all things theatrical, Zach supports both the donor experience and the behind-the-scenes magic that keeps the Playhouse running. He’s especially fond of Shakespeare’s darker moments and is always ready to lend a hand, no ghost light required.
