Manhattan Theatre Club Announces Nicki Hunter As The Company's New Artistic Director

The Board of Directors of Manhattan Theatre Club (David C. Hodgson, Chairman; Thomas F. Secunda, President) has announced that Nicki Hunter has been appointed the company’s new Artistic Director. Lynne Meadow, who has served as MTC’s Artistic Director for over five decades, will assume a new role as Artistic Advisor when Hunter steps into the Artistic Director position on December 1, 2025. Hunter, who is presently MTC’s Associate Artistic Director, first joined MTC in 2009 as an intern. In the 16 years since, she has held several key positions, including Artistic Associate, Line Producer, and Artistic Producer before being promoted to Associate Artistic Director, and worked closely with MTC’s staff and artists to further Meadow’s mission. The search for MTC’s new Artistic Director was conducted by Diane Carlyle Executive Search, a firm specializing in nonprofit arts leadership. Press contact: The Press Room (212/763-7724)...
