Todd Haimes
Artistic Director, Roundabout Theatre Company.
25 years after coming to New York’s Roundabout Theatre Company, artistic director Todd Haimes talks about the company’s growth from a financially troubled Off-Broadway group into one of the country’s largest not-for-profit theatres; his own transition from managing the business side to setting the artistic agenda; the relationship of the company to the world of commercial theatre, since both produce on Broadway; how he manages to attract top level artists to work at Roundabout for relatively minimal salaries; why he planned to leave the company 10 years ago — and why he ended up staying put; and how the company expanded its repertoire from Ibsen, Shaw and Shakespeare into more modern works, musicals and even brand-new plays.
