TheatreWorks artistic director Tim Bond is returning to Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland; Giovanna Sardelli will be interim TheatreWorks AD.
Tim Bond, who in 2020 became only the second artistic director in TheatreWorks Silicon Valley history, announced today, July 6, he is stepping down from the post to lead the famed Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
The move will reunite Bond with the 88-year-old Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, a company that draws theater fans and tourists from around the world. Bond worked there for 11 years as associate artistic director and, as he notes, “it is a place my family thinks of as home.” “It is with a heavy heart that I leave the TheatreWorks community that I have come to know and love,” said Bond in a statement. “I had hoped to serve here longer, continuing to expand the legacy of founder Robert Kelley. But my former artistic home has asked if I can return to support it during a critical period, and I am compelled to return there.”
In a statement, incoming TheatreWorks board chair Mark Greenstein and outgoing board chair Holly Ward expressed gratitude for Bond’s relatively short but impactful tenure, noting that he “took the helm at TheatreWorks in March 2020, and was immediately subsumed by the pandemic. He spent the next three years keeping the company together, artistically, emotionally, spiritually.
