    Duke Dang, Executive Director of Works & Process

    Before a performance is polished, premiered, or reviewed, it exists in a more vulnerable state. What happens when you invite audiences into that space? As Executive Director of Works & Process, Duke Dang leads an organization built around that idea. By welcoming audiences into the rehearsal room—where new work is tested and shaped—Works & Process transforms performance from a finished product into a shared journey. Under Duke’s leadership, the organization has grown in scale and influence, setting the standard for how institutions can nurture artists at pivotal moments in their development. In this episode, Duke reflects on building sustainable pathways for artists across disciplines, creating space for artistic risk, and deepening audience investment in new work. ----- LINKS: Works & Process: https://www.worksandprocess.org/  CATS: The Jellicle Ball: https://catsthejellicleball.com/  The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts: https://www.nypl.org/locations/lpa

    Cody Renard Richard, Tony Award-Winning Producer and Stage Manager

    Great theater starts by creating trusted conditions for talent and creativity to thrive. Cody Renard Richard is a Tony Award-winning producer and stage manager whose career spans Broadway, television, opera, and even Cirque du Soleil. Along the way, his backstage leadership has shaped acclaimed productions like the 2025 revival of Ragtime and this spring’s CATS: The Jellicle Ball. In this episode, Cody talks about what it really means to lead from behind the scenes, and why stage management is such a powerful training ground for leadership. He reflects on his path through the industry, how he’s navigated power and visibility in a field that doesn’t always make room for everyone, and what it looks like to advocate for artists and audiences without burning out or losing yourself in the process. ----- LINKS: Cody Renard Richard: https://www.codyrenard.com/ Ragtime at Lincoln Center: https://www.lct.org/shows/ragtime/ CATS: The Jellicle Ball: https://catsthejellicleball.com/  RISE Theatre Directory: https://risetheatre.org/

    Aidan Connolly, Executive Director of Irish Arts Center

    Aidan Connolly knows that institutional growth isn’t just a matter of square footage. It’s a test of values. As Executive Director of Irish Arts Center in New York City, Aidan is leading the organization through a major expansion and transformation—one that requires not only bold vision, but the discipline to protect what made the institution matter in the first place.  In this episode, Aidan reflects on what it takes to lead values-driven change, how his background in politics shaped his approach to advocacy and stakeholder management, and how arts organizations can become not just presenters of culture, but civic homes for artists and audiences alike. —— LINKS: Irish Arts Center: https://irishartscenter.org/ WorkLife with Adam Grant: https://adamgrant.net/podcasts/work-life/ The New York Public Library: https://www.nypl.org/ The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts: https://www.nypl.org/locations/lpa

    Sammi Cannold, Broadway, Film, and TV Director

    Risk is usually something leaders are told to minimize. But for Sammi Cannold, it’s essential to success. As an award-winning director across Broadway, film, and television, Sammi has built her career on ambitious projects—like staging Violet on a moving bus and reimagining Ragtime on Ellis Island. What stands out isn’t just the boldness of the choices, but the intention behind them: using place and performance to help audiences experience even the most familiar stories in new ways.  In this episode, Sammi shares how she found her voice as a young woman in a male-dominated field; how she brings new perspective to beloved works while still honoring their legacy; and what it means to be an “actor’s director” whether she’s working on stage or the silver screen. Plus, she shares why advocacy in entertainment doesn’t always have to feel like eating your vegetables, and breaks down the false dichotomy between mission-driven and commercial work.

    Andrew Recinos, President and CEO of Tessitura

    If you could spend a year visiting arts organizations around the world, what patterns would start to emerge—and which assumptions would fall apart? Last year, Andrew Recinos, President & CEO of Tessitura, embarked on a global listening tour that took him inside cultural institutions across ten countries. Despite vast differences in geography, scale, and discipline, he heard strikingly similar themes—of reconstruction, resilience, and the challenge of evolving without losing core purpose. In this episode, Andrew explores what a global vantage point reveals about the state of the field, why innovation requires “eating good ideas,” and how technology can act as a co-intelligence that deepens, rather than diminishes, meaningful human connection. —— LINKS Tessitura: https://www.tessitura.com/ Arts Journal: https://www.artsjournal.com/ TLDRAI: https://tldrai.com/

    Aly Maier Lokuta on the Intersection of Arts and Health

    Aly Maier Lokuta knows that art and science aren’t opposing disciplines. They’re a shared language for strengthening public wellbeing.  Her career has long bridged these worlds, from co-founding Rutgers’ Arts and Health Research Lab to leading the largest public mural initiative since the WPA era during her time with NYC Health + Hospitals. Now, as AVP of Arts and Well-Being at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center,  she’s proving what many leaders in the field are only beginning to articulate: that cultural institutions can be powerful drivers of community health.  In this episode, Aly shares real-world examples of arts-in-health programs and actionable advice for organizations looking to launch or grow their own initiatives.

    Ming Min Hui on Luck, Leadership, and Wall Street

    For Ming Min Hui, there’s no single “right” path to arts leadership—only the one you build through curiosity, courage, and a willingness to evolve. Her career began far from the stage, in finance and corporate strategy on Wall Street. Today, as Executive Director of Boston Ballet, she sees that wide-ranging experience not as a detour but as the engine behind her leadership. In this episode, Ming reflects on the value of expansive career paths, the power of collaborative problem-solving, and how she uses her business acumen to deepen the relevance of a 400-year-old art form in Boston and beyond.
