The Muny announced today the appointment of Tali Allen as Director of Education. A newly-created position, Allen will work with current staff to coordinate, evaluate and expand existing education programs while developing and implementing new programs within The Crawford Taylor Education Initiative.
"It is a proud and energizing moment to welcome Tali to our team," said Muny Managing Director Kwofe Coleman. "Her track record of success, breadth of experience and genuine desire to positively affect young lives through arts education makes Tali the perfect person to lead our evolving initiative. The great work that has been and will continue to be done by existing, dedicated staff will surely benefit from Tali's presence." "I am incredibly humbled to join this institution as it steps into its second century," said Allen. "It is a great honor to further the long-standing tradition of education programs at The Muny, while aiding in the development of young artists in this community." Tali Allen has worked in the arts for nearly 20 years.
