New Repertory Theatre Names Michael J. Bobbitt Artistic Director

After 12 years at Adventure Stage in Maryland, Bobbitt is heading north to New England to begin a new chapter.

The lineup includes a Sondheim classic, a bilingual drama, a Sherlock Holmes play, and more.

The new program strives to increase opportunities for under-represented theatre artists.

The series marking Emily Mann’s final season as artistic leader will include world premieres by Rachel Bonds and Nathan Alan Davis.

The under-produced 20th-century playwright is the newest rediscovery project for the Off-Broadway company.

The lineup includes two premieres and contemporary classics.

The lineup includes a female-championing play festival, new comedies, and contemporary dramas.

The festival will feature readings of plays by MJ Halberstadt, Melinda Lopez and Maurice E. Parent, and Brenda Withers.

The fellowships award grants to support actors’ artistic development and to promote collaborations with theatres.

The new artistic leader has put together a slate that includes 2 world premieres, a sequel to an Austen classic, and ‘In the Heights.’
