Artistic Director — Stevie Walker-Webb

Walker-Webb is a director, playwright, and educator who was recently nominated for a Tony Award for directing the Broadway production of Ain’t No Mo’, which he also directed at the Public Theater. His work has been commissioned by the National Black Theatre and the American Civil Liberties Union, and he has directed productions with the Paper Mill Playhouse, the New Group, Classic Stage Company, and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company. Walker-Webb has also written for the Emmy-nominated television show The Ms. Pat Show and is the founder of Hundreds of Thousands, an advocacy organization that uses the arts to raise awareness about the treatment of mentally ill incarcerated people and solitary confinement.

A lecturer at Harvard University, Walker-Webb is the recipient of the Princess Grace Award, the Dramatists Guild’s Lily Award, an Obie Award, and a 2050 fellowship at New York Theatre Workshop. 

 

Managing Director — Adam Frank

Adam Frank comes to Baltimore Center Stage from Waterwell, a civically-engaged theater and arts education non-profit in New York City, where he has served as Managing Director since 2018. There, his initiatives helped grow the impact and sustainability of a company focused on innovative partnerships with advocates outside the arts. He catalyzed revenue growth that doubled the organizational budget, led the company through the pandemic with no staff furloughs or layoffs, and, in collaboration with artistic leadership, developed vibrant programming partnerships with immigration advocates, labor organizers, and military veterans.

In addition to his work at Waterwell, Frank has served in general management, marketing, and artistic capacities at theaters and festivals on both coasts of the United States, including The Public Theater, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Yale Repertory Theatre, and the Los Angeles Music Center. Frank holds an MFA in Theater Management from the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale and an MBA from Yale School of Management. He has served in a volunteer capacity training business students for nonprofit board service and as a board member of Columbus House, a regional provider of homelessness services in New Haven, CT.
