The Broadway Theatre League has announced the appointment of New York City resident Christopher McDonald as its newest executive director.
Thirty-nine-year-old McDonald will succeed former executive director Robert Lewis, who is retiring after 17 years at the helm.
McDonald, who is set to begin on Monday, was chosen from 100 applicants based on his past work experience. That experience includes production work for Nickelodeon, “The Montel Williams Show” and the Broadway production of “Mary Poppins.”
“We wanted to make sure the person we selected would be a good steward of our organization,” said league Vice President Eileen Pronobis.
“Bob Lewis has been such a good steward, we wanted to make sure we had someone at that level to take his place.” Read more here.
