“In every context in which I’ve known her, Devon has been a major source of inspiration for me. As a theater colleague, she was creative, driven, and dependable. As a friend, she is hilarious, caring, and adventurous. As a parent, she is energetic, consistent, and loving. She is the kind of person who knows who she is and what she can do, and once she sets her mind on something, there is no doubt she will achieve it.”

– Jen Wineman, theater director (Dog Man: The Musical)

About Devon

Devon Berkshire (she/her) is a creative leader, producer, and strategist who has spent over two decades turning bold ideas into powerful programs. With roots in the performing arts and a career that spans nonprofit innovation, large-scale convenings, and mission-driven storytelling, Devon brings a rare blend of vision, heart, and make-it-happen energy to every collaboration.

Devon is a consummate professional. She is diligent, organized and incredibly creative. I always know I can count on her to handle any problem that arises quickly with grace and a sense of humor. I cannot imagine a better partner in any endeavor.
— Jackie Kristel, co-founder, Jax & Devo

As the longtime Director of Fieldwide Programming at Theatre Communications Group (TCG), Devon shaped national conversations in the arts through flagship events like the TCG National Conference and Fall Forum on Governance. She’s led teams, facilitated coalitions, and launched initiatives tackling everything from climate action and gender equity to inclusive leadership and organizational strategy. Her work is known for weaving creativity with care—and always making space for joy, curiosity, and collective impact.

Devon Berkshire is an incredible thought partner and collaborator – not only in terms of her talent for driving strategic conversations around programming and organizational culture, but also because she asks incisive questions that encourage everyone around her to reconsider their own assumptions about what “should” be and instead ask what could be if we only allowed ourselves to dream bigger and think more deeply about complicated issues. In our time working together, I witnessed her work miracles both major and minor while producing complex, meaningful events that fostered connection and creativity among attendees. Devon is also a deeply values-driven individual whose commitment to inclusivity and forward-thinking improves everything that she touches. To work with her is a gift.

She holds degrees from Vassar College and Harvard/ART, with additional certifications from NYU and UPenn’s Center for Social Impact Strategy.

She’s also a breast cancer survivor and health advocate, a lifelong learner, and a proud collaborator who believes great work gets done in great company. Based in the Hudson Valley with her family, Devon is currently partnering on projects that call for thoughtful leadership, smart design, and a little creative magic.
