Managing Director
New York Theatre Workshop in New York City, NY seeks its next Managing Director to work in partnership with the Artistic Director to activate the vision for the Workshop’s exciting next chapter. Together, with a committed Board of Trustees and talented staff, the Artistic and Managing Director will envision possibilities, build the relationships that will fuel them, and implement long-term solutions responsive to this critical moment for the field that calls for innovation and reinvention. They will have the chance to build a fresh co-leadership model that reflects their own unique strengths and is responsive to this urgent and emergent time in the theatre’s history.
New York Theatre Workshop (NYTW), a community of artists and audience members seeking to better understand the world through theatre, stands as an inspiring pillar in the New York City, national, and international theatre ecosystem. After a tremendous period of growth and achievement—having fostered the careers of ground-breaking artists, installed a visionary new Artistic Director, and mounted numerous Tony and Obie award winning productions—NYTW continues to be a powerful leader in the creation and production of theatre for artists and audiences alike. From the acclaimed Broadway and West End-bound productions such as Hadestown, Merrily We Roll Along, and the iconic Rent, to the intimate and boundary-pushing pieces, such as On Sugarland and Here There Are Blueberries, under Artistic Director Patricia McGregor’s leadership, NYTW’s commitment to rigor, risk, and a range of theatrical styles and artists remains paramount.
