How can you replace a founding artistic director who had spent 45 years building a powerhouse theatrical institution?
We wanted someone to shape and inspire our next 45 years of growth and success.
From the start, Evan stood out amongst his peers, said Brockman and Lindsay.
Its simply part of his DNA.
We honestly dont know how we got this lucky, but well certainly take it.
Evan is the future of Second Stage, and we cant wait to see where he leads us.
For over twenty years, Cabnet has worked as a director on and off Broadway, regionally and internationally.
He has collaborated with such writers as Jacobs-Jenkins, Stephen Sondheim and Donald Margulies, among others.
