‘Stereophonic’ Launching Pad Playwrights Horizons Names New Managing Director As Tough Economy Lashes Nonprofit Theaters


Casey York has been named Playwrights' new Managing Director.

In its announcement about York’s hiring, Playwrights said a nationwide search had been conducted by Tom O’Connor Consulting Group for candidates “demonstrating a commitment to writers and theater artists and an understanding of how organizations can support them in turbulent times, and to increasing diversity and equity in the field.” The Playwrights Horizons board of trustees and staff are looking forward to having Casey re-join our team as we adapt to produce new plays and musicals despite the headwinds facing non-profit theaters.” As Playwrights Horizons faces a new chapter, an inflection point both inside and outside our theater’s walls, we are lucky to be equipped with the strength and solidity of Leslie Marcus’s longtime leadership—and with the creativity and might of Casey York’s.”
