Managing Director Irene Green to Depart Northern Stage

Irene Green, Managing Director at Northern Stage, will be leaving her position to take on the role of Executive Director of the O’Shaughnessy, a performance venue at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her departure is effective July 2, 2022.

Green began as Northern Stage’s Director of Sales and Marketing in 2013. As Managing Director since 2018, she has helped to craft the theater’s exponential growth and has seen the theater through challenging pandemic times. Following two years of COVID restrictions that crippled many theater companies throughout the world, under Green’s leadership Northern Stage became one of the first theaters in the country to reopen.

Noting that the move will allow her to return to family in the state of Minnesota, Green commented on the future of Northern Stage:

“I am incredibly optimistic for the future of the company. It is poised to continue producing breathtakingwork of the highest artistic excellence, and to continue the fantastic education programs that so deeply impact our local young people. This organization's bones are healthy and its heartbeat is strong. I am confident that Northern Stage will thrive and soar in the months and years ahead, and I look forward to celebrating all its future success, albeit from a different seat in the house.”

The Board of Directors will be conducting a national search for a new Managing Director.
