Artistic Leadership: Toward Equitable Search and Support

Nonprofit professional theaters have expressed commitments to new voices and new visions, and promised more equitable and inclusive practice in building and supporting their teams. But what does equitable search and support really look like for artistic directors? What skills and experiences are required of the evolving work? And what barriers to positive change are blocking the path? Join this conversation with Hana S. Sharif, artistic director of Arena Stage; Reginald L. Douglas, artistic director of Mosaic Theater Company; and Al Heartley, search and management consultant. Hosted by American University's Arts Management Program in Washington, DC.
