We are honored to announce that Ross Egan will be joining Asolo Repertory Theatre as our new Managing Director. After a rigorous national search, Egan was selected by our incoming Producing Artistic Director Peter Rothstein and the Board of Directors. He will be succeeding Linda DiGabriele, who has been an integral part of Asolo Rep for 50 years, with 35 of those years in the position of managing director. Egan's extensive experience in theatre and business makes him the ideal candidate to lead Asolo Rep into the future. As Managing Director of the historic Barter Theatre in Abingdon, VA, he successfully navigated the challenges posed by the pandemic, including producing Barter at the Moonlite Drive In, one of the first theatres in the world to produce during that time. He was also the Director of Operations for the Illinois Shakespeare Festival and founded the Joseph Jefferson award-winning Refuge Theatre Project in Chicago. On Egan’s appointment Rothstein shared, “I am thrilled to craft the future of Asolo Rep in collaboration with Ross Egan, who brings a depth of business acumen and a palpable passion for the art form. He understands the complexities of leading a non-profit theater in these challenging times and is driven by a spirit of creativity and innovation.”
