The Victory Gardens Theater board of directors and Artistic Director Chay Yew announced plans for Yew’s departure from Victory Gardens at the end of the 2019-20 season.
An internationally renowned stage director and playwright, Yew has been the artistic director of Victory Gardens since July 2011. He will pursue personal projects upon leaving the theater.
Victory Gardens will begin a national search for a successor who, in partnership with Executive Director Erica Daniels, will continue to elevate the company’s mission by developing and producing new works that provoke a relevant and engaging civic dialogue; and strengthening diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
