After overseeing the production of more than 260 productions, 18 of which went on to Broadway or off-Broadway, and collaborating with four artistic directors, Michael Maso is ending his tenure at The Huntington at the end of June:
“There are definitely moments of nostalgia that I've been indulging in over the last couple of months,” Maso said. “And I do remember my first moment walking into the theater in 1982 and being astonished by the beauty of that space that we just renovated. But that was 40 years ago. And the elegance of that proscenium and the history that was embraced in that facility.”
“There's just such an extraordinary range of work. And you know, it's hard for me to actually single them out because I find that memories just keep coming back to me and they're thrilling,” he said. “One of the things that I hope to do is to take the time to really think through, almost decade by decade, what those moments have meant to me and what those moments have meant in my mind to Boston.
renovation and expansion, which, once completed, will provide 14,000 square feet of cultural space for performance and public events.“Michael Maso is the only managing director The Huntington has ever known, and we have been incredibly fortunate to have his visionary leadership for these many years,” said Randy Peeler, chairman of the theater’s board of trustees, in a press release.
