Mary Hackeloer

Mary Hackeloer is thrilled to step into her new role as Stewardship Manager at Gulfshore Playhouse, following two fulfilling seasons on the Education team. Originally from Oklahoma, Mary earned her B.F.A. in Musical Theatre from Southeast Missouri State University’s Dobbins Conservatory, then launched her professional career in Chicago before settling in Naples. Her multifaceted theatre journey spans performance, education, and arts administration, including a tour with Missoula Children’s Theatre and serving as Associate Artistic Director for the Lanford Wilson New American Play Festival.

At Gulfshore Playhouse, Mary played a key role in creating and delivering engaging educational programming for students of all ages. Now on the advancement team, she is passionate about cultivating meaningful relationships in the community and looks forward to collaborating with all the generous donors that support the theatre’s mission.

Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, relaxing by the pool or beach, exploring Naples’s vibrant dining scene, and spending quality time with her husband and their two cats.
