Julianne Boyd is stepping down after almost three decades at the head of BSC as artistic director. Her replacement will be Alan Paul, Associate Artistic Director of the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C.
“He's a fantastic dramaturg," Boyd told WAMC. "So he knows how to mold and shape new plays, which was important to us. And he's also been very involved in the Washington, D.C. community, and I think that that's really exciting. And someone said to me, he has your joy. He's a joyful person. That's important for our theater to have somebody who wants to spread the joy of what we do.”
Boyd’s final production at Barrington Stage as a director will be Stephen Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music,” running August 6th to 28th.
