Shakespeare on the Sound, Connecticut’s major outdoor free Shakespeare company, has named Steven Yuhasz as its new Executive Director, the first Executive Director in the organization's 17-year history. Yuhasz assumes some of the duties performed by Emily Bryan, who has been named the organization’s Director of Education.
According to Shakespeare on the Sound's Board Co-President Leslie Lawrence, “Steven brings a wealth of experience in regional theatre management and production to Shakespeare on the Sound. We feel he is the perfect fit as we grow our education programming and continue to offer wonderful productions of Shakespeare, free and in our parks.”
Yuhasz has worked extensively in both the non-profit and commercial theatre. He has produced Streakin’ and Pterodactyl Island (Off Broadway) and The Visit, The Normal Heart, and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas for The Actor’s Fund of America. He is a Founding Producer of the New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) and has acted as Associate General Manager for Papermill Playhouse. He has directed Off Broadway, and worked at numerous regional theatres around the country including Goodspeed, Ogunquit Playhouse, and The McCarter Theatre.
“It's an exciting time for Shakespeare on the Sound," stated Artistic Director Joanna Settle. "Steven joining our team as Executive Director is just one example of how we are filling our next season with fresh ideas and new adventures."
Now in its seventeenth season, Shakespeare on the Sound has established itself as one of the most popular summer theater companies on the East Coast, drawing large audiences to each performance in the unique under-the-stars settings of its waterfront venues – Pickney Park in Rowayton and Roger Sherman Baldwin Park in Greenwich.
