New Rep Theatre names interim executive arts director
New Repertory Theatre
New Repertory Theatre recently announced the appointment of the Boston-based and award-winning theater producer and director M. Bevin O’Gara as its interim executive artistic director, effective April 5.
O’Gara will serve in this position for approximately 9 to 12 months until the search for a permanent artistic director has been completed and a new leader is appointed. She succeeds Michael J. Bobbitt, who began his new role as the executive director of the Massachusetts Cultural Council in February.
“New Rep’s search committee is thrilled with the appointment of Bevin as our interim executive artistic director,” Jo Trompet, chair of New Rep’s board of directors, said. “Her familiarity and connections with the Boston theater community, previous employment at New Rep and strong commitment to using theater to advance equity and anti-racism made her a unanimous choice.
