Constance Gist Guindo

Board of Directors Co-Chair

Constance is a long time theater lover, but a more “recent” transplant to Boston.  SpeakEasy served as her introduction to Boston, and its boldness was captivating and has continued to tell the stories of this great city… and beyond. Constance found insight and solace in theaters around the world — as an expatriate for over 20 years, she used theaters in her adopted home cities of  Paris, Amsterdam Johannesburg, Montreal — and many other places in between — to help understand the issues of her neighbors and friends in these locales through their stories on the stage. She and her husband are parents to young adults – one of which is a lifelong Thespian and the other a football (as in soccer) lover!  Constance holds degrees in Computer Science from New York Institute of Technology, an MBA from Columbia University, and more recently returned to Harvard and earned a Ed.M. in Education Policy and Management from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Constance loves to use the power of theater as a teaching tool for young and old.
