BOARD OF DIRECTORS, STAFF, & INTERNS

 

1415annualreportline.jpg

New Dramatists’ 30-member Board of Directors, many of whom have served the organization for over two decades, set the standard for our unwavering dedication to playwrights. The Board has carefully cultivated leadership within its ranks, and it has been led by the team of David Rozensweig and Abbie Van Nostrand since September, 2016.

Our exceptional full-time staff of 8 arts professionals, with support from part-time employees and leadership by the duo of Artistic Director, Emily Morse, and Executive Director, Joel Ruark, produce an artistic season that suggests a team many times their size.

The Bernard B. Jacobs Internship Program provides an entrée into the theatre world for hundreds of remarkable young artists and arts professionals – a number of whom eventually become New Dramatists playwright fellows, resident writers, or New Dramatists staff members themselves.
