Origin Theatre Company has appointed the actor and producer Michael Mellamphy to serve as its new artistic director, replacing Origin s founder George C. Heslin, who became the new executive director of the New York Irish Center in October last year.
Mellamphy, who co-curated (with the actor Sarah Street) the 13th annual Origin 1st Irish Theatre Festival in January, takes over the artistic leadership of the New York-based company, now in its 18th consecutive season, with a strong mandate from the board to continue to develop Origin s unique mix of shows and events that introduce consequential contemporary voices from Europe to New York audiences.
