Playhouse on Park presents the comedy, "Art" by Yasmina Reza; translated by Christopher Hampton.

A: I majored in Theatre Arts Management at Ithaca College and initially really wanted to go into arts marketing. I interned at SpotCo (an ad agency here) and at an agency in London but then became more interested in the management side of things. I was hired by Roundabout in 2006 to work in their business office and really enjoyed my time there. I asked one of the company managers if I could meet her and shadow her during a show. The night I was there the entire sound system crashed (it was a musical) and she had to go into complete crisis mode. I loved it. I then switched my focus to company management and was working Off-Broadway when Roundabout hired me to cover that same company manager's maternity leave. I was her assistant on The 39 Steps and then took over when she went to have her baby. And I just never left!
