Hope has been involved in theater since 1983. She worked avidly in the local community theater, Playcrafters of Skippack, until she met Tom Quinn. Between his artistic skills and her audience building skills, they decided to start a theater company and Montgomery Theater Project was born. She served as Company Manager, Managing Director, then Director of Production, from 1993 to 2010 when she took a hiatus from Montgomery Theater and started an interior painting business with sister Heidi, next worked as a notary, and later a nanny, always serving on the Board of Directors. She returned to Montgomery Theater in 2024 as Patron Services and Facilities Supervisor.
