After more than five years of extraordinary leadership, Co-Executive Director Risa Shoup will step down from their role on March 6 to become the first-ever Chief Operating Officer of the American LGBTQ+ Museum. Risa has guided A.R.T./New York through a period of profound challenge and transformation with care, vision, and deep commitment to our staff, members, and the broader theatre community. We are immensely grateful for their leadership and proud of all we have built together.

In Risa’s words:
“I will remain an enthusiastic audience member in New York City theatres of all sizes and disciplines, and I will never stop cheering on A.R.T./New York or feeling tremendous pride in what we have created together.”

A.R.T./New York is the organization it is today thanks to Risa’s care, dedication, and commitment to serving our members, staff, and community. Join us in honoring their contributions by planning for the future!

Thank You, Risa!
