WP Theater Announces Two New Artistic Hires: Rebecca Martinez and Cori Thomas
May 7, 2020
WP Theater announced today that Rebecca Martinez and Cori Thomas will be joining the staff as BOLD Associate Artistic Director and Mellon Foundation Playwright in Residence, respectively.
"In this time of uncertainty, it is such a gift to have good news to share!" said Lisa McNulty, Producing Artistic Director of WP Theater. "I absolutely can't wait to welcome these two extraordinary artists to the WP staff, and to continue the journey that began with our production of Cori's When January Feels Like Summer in 2014, and with Rebecca's tenure in the 2018-20 Lab. I look forward to all the ways we will grow, learn and make work together. We are so grateful to the Pussycat Foundation's BOLD Theater Women's Leadership Circle, and the Mellon Foundation's National Playwright Residency Program for making these positions possible, and for both Foundations' extraordinary support for the elevation of women+ leaders in the theater."
