As a follow-up from my post this afternoon, the New York Times has started to ponder who will be leading Jujamcyn in the future and in the bigger picture who will fill the gaping hole in the commercial theater world left by Rocco Landesman’s appointment (assuming it will be approved) as Chair of the National Endowment for the Arts and the passing of Gerald Schoenfeld late last year.
It does seem that we will be seeing the generational shift I was hoping for in my earlier post (I didn’t want to jinx it by stating my guess directly!). I think we are in for some exciting and interesting times, and I for one am glad to be working in the industry during such a transition. Although we are in a period of economic difficulty, I have maintained that there is a huge opportunity for theater to thrive during it. It is invigorating to think that a new generation of leaders will be taking the wheel. This in addition to seasoned and dynamic leadership at the NEA makes it a wonderful time to be working in the theater.
