Santa Fe Playhouse Managing Director Jessica Morrow Will Depart for Lincoln Center Theater
The company also announced the creation of a new endowment fund supporting long-term sustainability.
Santa Fe Playhouse has announced that Managing Director Jessica Morrow will leave the organization this summer after accepting a position with Lincoln Center Theater in New York City.
According to the Playhouse, Morrow helped implement a range of infrastructural and strategic initiatives during her tenure, strengthening the organization’s operational foundation and long-term planning efforts.
“Jessica has made invaluable contributions to the Playhouse in her tenure as Managing Director and has helped us make major strides towards our vision of being your local nationally acclaimed theater,” said SFP Board Chair Erin Bunkley in a statement. “The Board of Trustees is sorry to see her leave, but we are so proud and excited for her next role at Lincoln Center Theater.”
The organization said it has already begun a search for candidates to fill the Managing Director position.
The Playhouse also announced the establishment of the Santa Fe Playhouse Endowment Fund, created to support capacity building and long-term organizational sustainability beyond the theatre’s annual operating fund.
The fund was established with support from donor Bruce F. Stuart, a longtime supporter of the organization who became involved with the company during its 100th anniversary season. The endowment will be managed by Hightower Signature Wealth, formerly known as The Rikoon Group.
Santa Fe Playhouse stated that Morrow played a key role in finalizing the creation of the fund before her departure.
Located in a historic 99-seat adobe theatre in Santa Fe, Santa Fe Playhouse produces mainstage productions, new work development programs, educational initiatives, and its annual melodrama series. The company serves more than 8,000 patrons annually and is an associate member of the National New Play Network.
