Artistic Director Michael Ritchie announced Lindsay Allbaugh has been named Associate Artistic Director and Neel Keller has been named Associate Artistic Director/Literary Director of Center Theatre Group Artistic Director…
Both Allbaugh and Keller will continue working closely with Ritchie and Associate Artistic Director Kelley Kirkpatrick to oversee all artistic responsibilities of the nonprofit theatre company, including productions across the Ahmanson Theatre and Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles and Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City.
“Center Theatre Group’s staff has included some of the best artistic collaborators in the country, and that remains as true today as it has since our founding in 1967,” said Ritchie. “We’re producing, presenting and often creating pieces of theatre for one of the widest and most diverse audiences, and throughout my time leading this organization, both Lindsay and Neel have been instrumental in helping Center Theatre Group continue guiding our artistic mission. Their new titles are well deserved and consistent with the work they’ve already been doing as well as the expectations going forward.”
Allbaugh joined Center Theatre Group in 2004 as Assistant to the Managing Director, later working in various capacities throughout the Artistic Department including most recently as Associate Producer. At Center Theatre Group, she produces the annual Block Party program featuring Los Angeles-based theatre companies, which she helped launch in 2016, and mainstage productions including “Indecent,” “Bent,” “The Nether,” “Women Laughing Alone With Salad,” “Good Grief,” “Archduke” and multiple Samuel Beckett plays including “Waiting for Godot, “Endgame” and “Happy Days.” Along with her work over the past 15 years with Center Theatre Group, Allbaugh spent 10 years as Co-Artistic Director of the Elephant Theatre Company in Hollywood and has directed plays and readings at various Los Angeles-based theatre companies including Boston Court, The Echo Theater Company and IAMA Theatre Company.
