New leadership for theater management program
Joshua Borenstein ’02MFA has been appointed chair of the theater management program and assistant professor adjunct at David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, effective July 1.
Principal at the arts consultancy Odyssey Associates, which he founded in 2019, Borenstein previously served Long Wharf Theatre for 13 years in positions of increasing responsibility and leading the organization for eight years as managing director. Josh earned his MFA in theater management from the Geffen School, where he has taught courses on strategy, financial management, and theater organizations since 2017.
“I am excited, grateful, and humbled to serve as the next theater management program chair,” Borenstein said. “It is an extraordinary opportunity to lead the program’s evolution as the field explores new ways to produce theater, to become more equitable and inclusive, and to develop new operating models. I look forward to collaborating with the Geffen School community to take this outstanding training program to the next level.”
In his new role, Borenstein succeeds Joan Channick, who has served as chair of theater management since 2016 and who will continue to teach in the program following her retirement. Borenstein will participate in the program’s admissions process this spring prior to the start of his tenure in July.
