Currently celebrating its 35th Season, Everyman Theatre seeks a positive, collaborative, and dynamic leader to serve as its second-ever Artistic Director, helping to shape the artistic footprint of this robust organization, its beautiful facility in downtown Baltimore, and its core Resident Company of Artists. Working in partnership with Everyman’s Managing Director and with an engaged Board of Directors, the new Artistic Director will build upon the compelling vision initiated by Founder Vincent M. Lancisi to further bold creativity from a place of financial stability and community engagement.
The successful candidate will join a warm, supportive, and inclusive environment that truly seeks to serve artists and their creativity through all facets of operations. With the announcement of Lancisi’s retirement, Everyman has launched a nationwide search; Lancisi will leave the role in June of 2026. The right candidate will have demonstrated success in inspiring artistic teams, engaging audiences, and building relationships internally, locally, and nationally. Management Consultants for the Arts has been engaged to facilitate this search. A full position description may be found here: https://www.mcaonline.com/searches/artistic-director-everyman

- Paid time off includes vacation, holiday, sick, and personal days. Employees accrue vacation at the rate of 15 days per year in the first year.
