Nancy Yao has accepted appointment as Assistant Dean of Student Life and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging/Assistant Professor Adjunct of Theater Management at David Geffen School of Drama.
Theater Management
The Theater Management program prepares aspiring managerial and artistic leaders to create inclusive organizational environments favorable to theatrical creation, supportive of artists and other theater workers, conducive to collaboration, and responsive to their communities. Individually and collectively, we are committed to implementing and practicing anti-racism and anti-oppression in our workplaces and our classrooms. We strive to model equitable policies and practices.
The program offers a joint degree with Yale School of Management, in which a student may earn both the M.F.A. and M.B.A. degrees in four years (rather than the five years that normally are required).
