Currently celebrating its 35th Season, Everyman Theatre seeks a positive, collaborative, and dynamic leader to serve as its second-ever Artistic Director, helping to shape the artistic footprint of this robust organization, its beautiful facility in downtown Baltimore, and its core Resident Company of Artists.
