Antonio Minino to Step Down as Co-Artistic Director of Manhattan Theatre Works
Manhattan Theatre Works (MTWorks) announced today that Co-Artistic Director Antonio Minino will be stepping down from his position. David Stallings will continue on as Artistic Director of the award-winning indie theatre company. Minino co-founded MTWorks in 2006 alongside Stallings and Vermont Stage Company's current Producing Artistic Director Cristina Alicea. He has been instrumental in the success and programming of the company and will continue on as a member of the acting company.
"It is impossible to measure how MTWorks has shaped my life, creativity and family. Even though I have decided to focus on my journey as a performer, producer and entertainment publicist, as a co-founder and acting member I will forever be a part of the company and look forward to seeing it continue to grow under the astute guidance of David Stallings and the board of directors" shares Minino.
Manhattan Theatre Works is dedicated to discovering new plays that challenge our perception of diversity (ethnic, economic, geographic, gender, sexuality or creed). They foster today's innovative playwrights that boldly take risks in theme, structure, time-period and location by collaborating with exceptional theatre artists to develop their plays through the Living Room Series, Newborn Festival and mainstage productions. Originally known as Maieutic Theatre Works, the company started producing thought provoking new plays in the Fall of 2006 with Folie A Deux: Insanity in Pairs written by co-founder and current Artistic Director David Stallings, directed by co-founder and former Executive Director Cristina Alicea, produced by co-founder and former Co-Artistic Director Antonio Minino. What started as a trio of like-minded artists has grown into a family of over 50 talented MTWorkers dedicated to developing new ground breaking diverse plays from around the world. MTWorks productions have received great press notices, awards and nominations including The New York Innovative Theatre Awards and Planet Connections Theatre Awards.
